The level 60 water pet with the Phinny staff is still an absolute DPS monster when positioned correctly for backstabs. Not quite at the level of the Epic pet, but not terribly far off, either. And it's very attainable.
Even without their Epic and using just their regular pets, nukes and DS, Mages will remain the top sustained DPS until melees get their high-end NToV weapons in Velious. And even then it's pretty close.
Mages remain a very good class throughout the P1999 timeline. If you like playing a Mage in Classic there is zero reason not to continue playing one in Kunark/Velious. With your massive DPS and utility (CoTH, summons) you will always contribute a lot to whatever group/guild you're playing with, and can still solo better than everyone who isn't an Enchanter, Necro or Torpor Shaman.

How is it acceptable for a player's epic to be virtually unobtainable? And then the "fix" later is to turn it in to a sockfest for no-lifers to monopolize?
