Mage pet = solid sustained dps. An off tank if you need it. A beefy primary tank if you have no melee. Regents fast. Cheap to cast. Chain summonable.
Beyond that mages can:
-Give the best DS in the game
-give their mana to others who need it more to keep a raid/group rolling
-summon any group mate to them
-add some haste to other peoples pets
-nuke as efficiently/effectively as most other damage dealing casters if not better.
As a whole the mage can:
-solo effortlessly most of their levels
-solo more efficiently than most classes all their levels
-put our tippy top notch dps in groups while adding some utility other than direct root cc
-but their pets can easily offtank 1-2 mobs which is its own utility
They’re closer to the top than the bottom in terms of global power and effectiveness.
We mostly have one person (DSM) who has proven a very eloquently verbose (if ineffective) troll who states otherwise … because it’s his opinion.
Most underpowered? Hard to say but at the high end wizard/druid are prime contenders. When you look at the whole scope of what p99 has to offer though all classes shine in their own right.
