Mage air pets did not hit for that much in classic.

Excellent points all around. The other mage pets should be nerfed so that the epic pet is, indeed, relatively epic.

I feel really sad for the .05% of mages on p99 now...

Sounds like a nice clicky pet for an epic that takes about a month or so of effort by a well motivated mage to complete, similar to the majority of the other epics and all the other caster epics.

So I'm sure this means the magi staff drop rate was increased to near 50%

I'm pretty sure this is receiving attention.

I really doubt that link you provided is that reliable

Damage cap for greater Vocaration (57-60) pets is only 2 higher than Vocaration (51-54) ones... I don't think so... Nice try though

You might want to try reliable links and sources of information like the Mage tower

Let's all jump on the 'nerf this OP mages' band wagon, shall we?

The bottom line is that the epic pet should be as it was at the end of the velious timeline. Was the old version the classic pet? Or this new one? Idk but I’d guess Rog and Nil wouldn’t have made the change if it wasn’t classic.

Totally Evia. Looks like case is closed, mages must face the music and accept their fate as coth bots and rod whores. Anyone who got to use the OP epic pet should thank their lucky stars they had the chance to use such a disgustingly powerful out of era pet. Fantastic dev work, pack this one up on to the next thread!

Well that page from 2003 has the PoP era epic pet stats.

So?
Does the fact that this page probably dates from PoP and contains pieces of information about pets up to lvl 65 change the stats of classic to Velious era pets?

The Mage tower was the best source of information about mages the way the shamancrucible was for shm

But congrats to all the haters that thought mages were too powerful and needed their pets nerfed
