Also, mage spells are researched...that's always fun. :/

Not that hard to find people selling the spells you need though. Should easily be able to get funds when crawling through them dungeons.

Yea, a mage is totally an alternative for a druid. But a wizard isnt, unless you want to raid. That was the point.

Regarding Mage focus items, they come in to effect at level 16. Your level 16 up to 49 pet spells benefit from them. Yes, they are worth it because they give ~ 20% more HP to the summoned pet. That's all, but it's worth it.

Wizards aren't bad and they aren't necessarily hated in groups but there is a lot of medding even with Clarity. They are a burst DPS class and in the group scene it's nice especially when it comes to named mobs, but even with the burst it's difficult to solo when it comes to farming or xping.

Overall fun: Definitely the mage from beginning levels to upper.

Are you sure on this? The size difference was notable with the lv4 pet(s) and the message from the focus item in chat was working lv5+ for me.

I can confirm it works for low level Mage pets, prior to 16.

I quested them for my Mage when it was level 6 and it was working on pets in that range.

Umm...did they change this? If not...wow, I really though what I wrote was correct.

Looks like I am wrong. Sorry about that.

Get at least one of the focus items ASAP. Other than that, anything that gives raw hp or mana will be helpful early on, but not required since your pet will be tanking unless something is going wrong. Also getting to level 4 can be annoying without a better ratio weapon than your starting dagger, but once you have pet your weapon won't matter.
