most underpowered class in game?

[DeathsSilkyMist]

It's Mage as most underpowered overall. They level quickly to become CoTH bots.

This is the problem with eternal late era Velious, gear inflation warps class balance to where people can actually consider Mage to suck.

Saying they level fast and don’t need their max level to fulfil their raid roll doesn’t make mages sound underpowered to me.

It's underpowered because if you aren't a raider you run out of things to do at high levels[You must be logged in to view images.

You don't run out of things do on Mage as compared to the majority of other classes. They can solo well. They contribute plenty to groups. It's way better to be a Mage outside of raids than a Wizard.

Not really. Without CC and Utility they are basically just stuck in lower level zones killing easier stuff. Most classes can do that honestly. Maybe not as fast, but you aren't doing any big camps with a Mage that you couldn't do with another class.

Sorry not sorry for skimming your excessive posts. There are 3 expansions and 60 levels.

So... you're wrong because you're trying to answer a broad question with no answer unless you define it more clearly.

"XYZ Class sucks at 60 in Velious so they are the worst"

Nah, they are the worst (maybe) at 60 in Velious at a particular time.

Mages dominate level 4 in any era. Get rekt, pontificating nerds.

I think the fact that the community can’t agree is pretty strong evidence that no class is underpowered when you look at the whole scope of the game that Norrath has to offer.

There are clearly underpowered classes when you focus on any single aspect … but not when you look at the sum total.

This seems like the most reasonable answer in this entire thread

This is totally wrong. There are many high level camps a Mage can do with chain petting that other classes can't, especially melee without great gear.

Mage is underpowered because it can xp quickly to a capable raid level to fulfil several vital roles and because it ploughs trash better than several classes bit can’t solo raid mobs like a shaman.
