Ask someone who knows what happens to all the mages...
They play forever get bored then join a guild who has the ability to go after every FFA Inny and get their staff. Once they get their epics they just quit playing, thats what happens to the mages.
The mage epic is boss. Let me put it this way, you can take the mage epic into solb solo and wreck all the imps and banish the ele's then solo frooti without all the fancy debuffs and dots shamans have. Totally 100% beast pet..
A skilled mage can literally single pull anything in the game. I don't care what it is, it can be single pulled through an entire zone. Mages are also the best class for making trains

I know lots of guilds rather have a bard or monk or a freaking ranger pull mobs but thats kinda dumb, in the end the puller might end up dying 5 times before they even get the mob. Or you could work your pull team around a mage tag coh pull & have it first shot.
I mean what so hard about making a lvl 4 fire pet tagging a mob say Talendor, run back to your group have it attack once it's in sight coh and have the tank run in or if there is adds have someone sneak tag it out.
Mages are a bit complicated and very expensive to play but once you got it down, high level mages are beast. Toss in that epic pet if your lucky enough to have one & you have a unmatched DPS, God/Dragon puller class / CoH machine...
Plus you can put your water pets on guard next to a mob have it attack then hit back then attack again and it will backstab non-stop toss in it's proc and give it two 100+ dmg proc weapons. Your pets doing something like 1k dmg every 10 seconds or so =)
