Skorge you've been here awhile, I'm surprised that you're shocked that mages are powerful. Vanilla EQ is like the only time in the game's lifespan when mages are one of the most powerful classes in the game.
In fact, back in the day on P99 if you had the pet focus staff from Phinny, your pet would nuke for like 5x as much damage because the level increase from the focus made the game think that you had a Kunark pet. A single mage pet could out-dps fully geared rogues and monks. Mage pets probably won't be quite that good on Green, but they'll still be great.
Also, serious raiders are going to want CotH bots in Kunark. Half of the playerbase is going to be rolling mages.
