Gnome has an advantage for PoM entrance due to it's small size giving it the ability to hide behind a 'wall' from drake agro.

Farm Plat & Coth your raid to phat pixel loot.
Come kunark guilds will be leveling guild mages to park at specific locations.
Become an instant asset in the future by leveling a mage now.

Shrink yourself with ant potion, directly facing the wall.
Use a classic EXPLOIT to create an eye of zomm 'pet' at zone in. Invite people to your group to coth without an anchor.

??? I love mages. My first character on p99 was a mage.
Maybe you don't like how I'm giving free information publicly?

Shrink yourself with ant potion

Or just be a gnome like every mages.

Why ever have a Mage, but not just an Enchanter instead, the superior class? And don't reply with Call of the Hero because I was asking the question AT you and not to you ;D

huehuehuehue

I vowed never to make a mage. Had a wizard on live back in the day and people were generally either in one camp or the other.

Trying one for green, its more fun than I thought it would be.

Mage's are a lot of fun yeah! It's a relaxed class, great for people who like to solo and group.

[Bigsham]

Mage is definitley one of the best classes in everquest and remains very viable and high dps until omens, at that point they kinda dont shine until dodh gargoyle and 2.0

by SOF their pets get gigantic and awesome again and the class is super fun

make a gnome

best group ever 5 mages 1 clr all gnomes

At the endgame as a mage, you don't do anything except CoTH people to the raid, or lay down row after row after row of mod rods for the clerics.

Your pet is not required for most fights, Your best nuke (seeking flame of seukor) is half of what a wizard can do in 1 cast.

Thats the end game life for a mage, Mod Rod CoTH bitch.

however, if you know how to chain pet, you are an unparalleled plat farmer.

That's the towelboy argument. Healers are just heal bitches and are everyones towelboy. Tanks dont get to do the real dps they are just there to get their ass kicked and are everyone's towelboy. Etc etc every class

Socials page?

[Guesty07]

Using the social page 100% works, but there are issues with pet not grabbing agro immediately like it used to in live (provided you did not cast any spell on the mob during the fight)

[Castle2.0]

Re-summoning a pet mid-fight can be done on Green no problem. As Guesty07 points out, the problem is aggro.

On Green, re-summoned Mage pet does not get immediate aggro upon engaging the mob, even if the mage has done 0 damage and cast 0 spells on the mob.

Outdoors you can do some /pet back off /pet guard /pet attack antics as you run circles with jboots for pet to get in a few rounds and grab aggro. In dungeons, you simply can't do it without some additional help. I used root nets, but even that was dicey when they were insta-cast.

[magnetaress]

I agree with OP also, mod rod has a pretty decent ratio believe it or not u can drop it on ground and hand to basically any char and get lvl 20 asap without much effort, mages are much like druids, just nice to have around 24/7 to help out with gleaming bags and toys

this is solved by not being a loner and having two mage pets or another class with root available, like a cleric or even just a warrior that can taunt like 1 second... lol

this is EQ lol.

with a population of 1200 i am pretty sure you can find one other person to m8 with who can poopsock during your hours and around your afks and critical pizza munchns

(unless u r me who is deliberate and calculated in their antipathy)
