And don't get me wrong, I am not hating on Mages or discouraging people from playing them. I think they are great. I am simply pointing out the problems Mage's have on P99's timeline, which make them struggle more than other classes in general. All classes on P99 are good enough to play, and not at a point where they are bad or unplayable. That is one of the things I like about P99, no class is straight up broken to the point of being unusable.
Mod Rods are great in raids. No question. Twitches overall are better because the healer doesn't need to worry about Mod Rods running out, not being able to click on them properly to pick them up, having someone sit on them, etc. They are more of a gap filler for twitches. Mod Rods are used a lot less than twitches. From what I remember they are mostly used for the toughest fights like AoW. You aren't always able to build them up due to raid targets needing fast response time or camp movement. With mod rods being lore, it's tough to coordinate 60 raiders to all pick up a mod rod, move it, and place it every time.

Your analysis is pretty good, mages power wanes as the timeline progress that's for sure. There's a big difference between ToV and outside ToV raids as well as far how useful mages are. Inside ToV they are invaluable, every raid needs at least two, because of the constant cothing, the train away meta and for rods. I can't think of a single fight that we don't pile the rods down, even for trash depending on the situation, like HoT or Flurry drakes. I think people use rods more now then when you remember, especially on the Velious targets.
