To prevent confusion, insofar as I recall JimJam wasn't claiming mages were "best" either, don't mean to imply he did, only that they're not worst, so he and I weren't necessarily disagreeing on anything. I'm just slightly, but genuinely, disappointed there seemingly isn't some unknown-to-me area that only magicians can do effectively. It'd be pretty cool if there was. Danth | |||

Sadly Mages just get gimped hard by lack of CC and pet AI issues. They would be better if they could simply use pets everywhere without it being a problem, including raids.

Off tanking is pretty good cc. Would be cool if monster summoning was a beast of a tank, great aggro, but with poor dps. Make it the tank option for pet groups. That line of spells really needs something to make it stand out.
I know wishlisting for a dead game is pointless, but still fun!

Mage pets should be pretty good back liners (as in off tanking, or keeping aggro when there is an issue with the tank) - but there are some weird aggro bugs in p1999 which makes them less good at this, and it does make mages slightly more annoying to group with than they should be.

Or is it just because they can’t cc? Cause last I checked warriors, rogues and monks have zero cc also. My mage pet tanks more than well enough to get the job done and mages worth their salt will out-dps rogues on most content (high end raids notwithstanding). Jesus man sometimes I think you like to type up PhD dissertations of bullshit just to hear yourself talk.

Mage pet = solid sustained dps. An off tank if you need it. A beefy primary tank if you have no melee. Regents fast. Cheap to cast. Chain summonable.
Beyond that mages can: -Give the best DS in the game -give their mana to others who need it more to keep a raid/group rolling -summon any group mate to them -add some haste to other peoples pets -nuke as efficiently/effectively as most other damage dealing casters if not better. As a whole the mage can: -solo effortlessly most of their levels -solo more efficiently than most classes all their levels -put our tippy top notch dps in groups while adding some utility other than direct root cc -but their pets can easily offtank 1-2 mobs which is its own utility They’re closer to the top than the bottom in terms of global power and effectiveness. We mostly have one person (DSM) who has proven a very eloquently verbose (if ineffective) troll who states otherwise … because it’s his opinion. Most underpowered? Hard to say but at the high end wizard/druid are prime contenders. When you look at the whole scope of what p99 has to offer though all classes shine in their own right.

I’m no mage fanboy. It was my 6th or 7th alt. But all the way to 60 I never ever felt underpowered. I always tethered my pet dps to my mage on real time parsing and always … consistently… and effortlessness nearly always put out the most damage.
Why the fck have people not put wizard/druid dead last? Cause they can port? They both suck donkey dick at sustained dps. Druids can passably heal but all other healers do it better. #confused To whatever end … of all the classes I’ve played (including 1 of the 2 I value least as noted above) I have never felt underpowered. My druid heals well enough to get by and the mobility and buffs are nice.
