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.

It has less to do with Class hate and more to do with experienced players have a better understanding of class Hierarchy. Some classes are simply better designed. Mages are ok, but they are not an amazing class. The one thing they can do, DPS, other classes can do better or just as good, but they also bring a lot more to the table. Loraen actual wrote a guide for this a long time ago when he still played. He does a pretty good job of grouping the classes based off of their capabilities.
