1) pet xp penalty really dropped the fun factor of leveling a mage
2) bolts aren't even half functional here
3) reclaiming to get a max pet can get annoying
4) pets have very limited taunt ability here
5) epic is difficult/costly to achieve
6) reduced to support on many raid encounters
I don't think it's one major thing, but the biggest to me is when they put in the pet xp penalty; mages really started disappearing after that, imo. Very few want to deal with the bullshit that is reclaim pet and nuke mob to finish in order to solo level.
