I don’t understand the class hate here on the forums. They all have strengths and weaknesses. We don’t have to litigate this crap for 20 years.
For a non-raider who wants to dps with their friends there is nothing wrong with the mage. The belief a 45 blob will hold up with a level 60 rogue with Vulak loot is ridiculous. It’s a better group dps class than a necro who isn’t charming not to mention most non-raid melees who often need 100k+ in gear just to be tolerable to play.
My stupid mage pet was only a couple dps behind a Facesmasher monk on Xenvorash and occasionally comes in top on the parse. With deadwoods on Miragul it smoked a 60 monk with a tstaff and a high 50’s rogue. It holds up fine in seb running around with buddies. The 60 water pet cost 500p.
Just because the 5% here quad DA mages in raids doesn’t invalidate the casual raiders or even non-raiders who play a mage (they could be on a Druid). For you with raid toons just be sure to not sleep on doing your job. Nothing more humiliating than getting beat on a parse, even in a group, by something without legs.
