Mages, granted, have it a little easier than Necros do because like it was stated, our summoning components are in more ready supply, and sold by vendors. Having to cut out and hit up a zone to decimate it gets to be a little old after a while. After playing my necro on Live up to the 80's, I can relate wholeheartedly.
The idea isn't to 'make it easier', but more of just a common courtesy sort of thing. A few assholes don't make the whole caste a bunch of heathen rednecks, so I think it rather unfair to take it out on the entirety of the population when implementing something simple as being able to zone with pets, or being able to see what buffs they have, or when periodic effects wear off of creatures is a relatively easy, harmless ordeal. I'm sure druids would be rather appreciative of knowing when that snare broke whilst something was rooted so they know that the next nuke they land is going to have the mob coming at full tilt to beat their faces in.
Many people seem to be making this out to be a game breaking ordeal, which I find positively laughable. What about knowing buff durations, dot messaging, pet zoning is so damned evil?
