Magi = are never played to their full potential. It requires a lot of work pet controlling and belling casting to lower resists - most people are super lazy and or too scared to belly cast. Pet position increases damage. Especially with the rogue pet.
Magi = Epic bottle neck still exists on P99 - sickly overpriced quest items. Live corrected the biggest problem by moving the Earth Staff to a "a forsaken revenant (male)" spawn in PoH that would have % chance of staff. This happened before the release of Velious. (On live: Sky crown was typically 8-10kp, Staff was around 20-30kp after changes). I dont remember what they did after PoH revamp as I moved on to higher things by then on live.
Magi= lvl55+ has serious mana regen issues. big time suck - might as well play a cleric if you're going to be sitting on your poo generator so much.
Overall, Magicians became a rare commodity on live - many lost interest in playing due to the mana regen issues and crap Raid Event dps. Resists were VERY high against Magicians in Velious - super frustrating. Guilding and keeping a CoH Magi on live was a big challenge.
