Recent fixes to pet agro finally made soloing fun again (can actually occasionally nuke rather than forced to chain) Also applies to duoing since pet can hold agro better.
Overall mages pretty good. Have to test which bosses can nuke and which you can't to decide whether you're nuking or feeding rods to healers/nukers.

The only thing that always sucked for mages is they are the only caster class that wasn't given any root spells (and unreliable earth pet root for 18 secs doesn't count).
Always carry around lots of root nets and pearls and you can do some fun stuff though.
I forgot about the pet agro issues. When I started up a couple months ago I initially made an Enchanter instead of a Mage just because of this. Thankfully taunt was fixed but I wonder if the stigma from people trying to play a Mage during this time will linger.

Difficulty of getting an epic pet...

Pretty much renders the debate useless. Epic mages are great.
Trying to do the Mage epic on live was depressing. I was stuck on getting that crown from Sky forever. Seems like everything on this server is sold as an MQ though. Are Mage epic MQs not available much on p99 and/or cost a shit load of plat compared to other epics? I've been curious about this...
