I'll load some parses tomorrow when i have time but i just got off my 60 mage in crypt/emp and average dps per mob bounced from the low end of 75dps to the high end of 157dps. Not all that different than what i told DSm was possible. I'm not sure why this is controversial.
Mages are good at what they do ... getting shit killed and fast.
So much for most underpowered class eh?

Thanks for letting me know the area. The parses will let me know your strategy and how often you can hit the high end before medding. Sadly that isn't great DPS for a level 60 caster in Seb.
In Seb I can root rot 3 mobs solo. I could easily root rot 4 mobs in a group. That means I am doing 136 DPS with DoTs. Looking at my Cliff Golems video my pet is doing about 11 DPS hasted, and JBB clicks would be another 5 DPS. In Seb JBB would get resisted less than Cliff Golems, so that could be higher. In total that means I can do 152 DPS sustained pretty consistently in an easier area like Seb. Shamans aren't even a DPS class.
Remember, I never said underpowered = bad. It just means Mages don't bring a lot to the table (which they sadly don't outside of CoTH). I wouldn't bring a Mage if that's all they can do. Shamans can output your DPS if necessary, have a decently tanky pet with Torpor, and they have a lot more utility to boot. Just bring Tolapumj Robes for Enchanter Pets since they are better than muzzles and you are good to go.
This is talking about level 60 grouping. Before Torpor/Epic Shamans are putting out lower DPS, and Mages are better.

Not everyone has the Robe, it can't just be assumed.

If you are the type of person who thinks adding even 1 DPS is going to make a difference (like yourself), you are going to have a robe. They are dirt cheap and Enchanters can farm plat well. An Enchanter without a robe doesn't care about losing some DPS. Even on Green then are less than 2k.
