As I have stated before, Mages can level just fine. I just don't think that makes up for how much they fall off at 60 compared to other classes.

We will have to agree to disagree. You won’t be changing my mind and I doubt I can change yours [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes Crede, we all know that attacking people's character with your imaginary fantasies isn't an argument. Reposting nonsense isn't convincing anyone[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
You are also incorrect that it is subjective. There is an objective answer. There simply isn't any individual or group of individuals willing to compile the data necessary to prove which one is most underpowered without a doubt. All computer applications are based on math. Statistically there is a best and worst class in every game ever created. If you have been playing the game for years, you will see patterns of class usage throughout the leveling process, and at level 60. Mages tend to peter out in the later levels due to how much they fall off. I can't think of any other class that does this, and this is why Mages end up as CoTH Bots. To me, that pattern of behavior is pretty good data to show that Mages are underpowered. You can accurately say that Rogues suck at leveling, but at the end of the day more people play them than Mages.

I can’t think of a single class that doesn’t have an area where it shines when you factor in the sum total of the experience in playing EverQuest. Low level… high level … and everything in between in the world of Norrath.
So no, objectively there is no best or worst class globally. If you focus on specific areas of this game and at certain tiers of gameplay, yeah some of them are undeniably horrible (like druid on high end velious raids … where you’re a potg buff bot and a patch healer who is the worst at healing).

I agree that every class has strengths and weaknesses. But it's pretty unfortunate that Mages fall off quite a bit at the end game, which plenty of people like to play in. I agree that Druids and Wizards also fall off quite a bit at 60, but because they have CC (and charm with Druids), they can still end up doing more higher level content than Mages. Mages also don't have a monopoly on good DPS in groups, so they aren't at the front of the line when people are checking for which classes to select when building a group. I haven't really seen any groups decline a Rogue for a Mage.

For anyone who is curious about classic, I did a ton of searching for some sort of survey, or discussion of what was the best class ... and came up with nothing. People in classic really seemed to believe "every class has a purpose" more than "X class is better than Y".
But I did find this discussion of which class to pick that I found interesting: https://web.archive.org/web/20020124...bestclass.html For instance, Enchanters: Quote:

When the encounter doesn't allow for any mez/lull/charm/stun/root I feel a kinship with those magicians who can't summon a pet or land a nuke, too. The role reduction really changes the game even though the raid still needs a few of you. I agree about soloing and grouping, though. Great class for either. | |||

But I am not sure if any other class is so good in all three categories overall as an Enchanter. There are certainly situations in which other classes are better than Enchanters in a raid, especially when you can't Charm and you can't CC. Shamans could come close, but they require a lot more money to get going, and they have the same issue as Enchanters, where quite a few Raid situations do not require more than a few Shamans. When not talking about Shamans or Enchanters, usually the other classes start to drag on the solo/group categories.
