Pretty much this.

Since you asked about Mages in particular though, they're still plenty powerful. The pet focus items are working properly (at level 4 even), and sword of runes is correctly doing damage to all targets (this wasn't fixed until later). They're very welcome as dps in groups, go figure.

I think you should probably mull over the bigger picture when it comes to character choice by factoring in Velious. P 1999 is supposedly going to get Velious launched in 4-5 months, give or take a few. Certain classes will really take off then (hybrid penalty of -40% is nuked), and others will retain their shortcomings (necromancers still won't have DoT's stacking on a target).

Pick carefully.
