It was just so goddamn frustrating knowing that my class-defining ability was impossible for me to obtain that I couldn't enjoy the character anymore. I ended up sinking all my savings into a shaman twink and discovering that I liked that class more anyway.
In my opinion what's class defining for a mage is being able to choose the best pet for a given situation out of 4 very cool choices. Each with their pros and cons.
The epic takes this feature from the mage and you'll be using the epic pet exclusively.
That being said, the quest is too damn hard. Such bottle necks shouldn't exist in quests. Also they should have given the mage epic another clicky. Not sure what tho.
