Welcome! Magician is a pretty good class up to 50 for sure! I don't think they are that bad beyond 50, but not the power houses they are before.
P99 has a bunch of little quarks you may want to research on your own time - bugs you might see them as which are really just the way things were in classic (for the most part).
As a mage for example, your XP might be going up every kill, but remember if you do not do 51% of the damage to the NPC you are fighting your pet "steals" half the XP.
Other ways around that penalty are:
-grouping (pet steals none but you split with duo person or group)
-Dismissing or reclaiming your pet before the mob dies (more frequent at high lvls) as then the source of your pet's dmg is gone, so you doing one nuke to finish it off should finish it and give you full xp.
Enjoy yourself! P99 is a blast!
