I think mage players are always welcome vs reliance on bots. Maybe not a S-tier raider, but certainly the mid-range compared to so many others and if you have enough to easily kill the target mobility makes the game less painful.
Solo it’s fraught with issues mainly due to no CC outside root and snare clickies. No surprise there.
As a +1 DPS I would rather take one for killing blue cons than most melees. In seb a focused max level 60 water will rival EC monks and some rogues without taking damage. This doesn’t include the damage shield perk, clicking a burnt wood stave/velks boots or burning the blue bar.
I’ve beaten the mage epic and some ToV geared melees on silly fights like Xenvorash and Vindi…which is rather amusing.
Personally, these days I mostly play mine for train outs and killing Phinny or any fight like Eejag. I raided it a lot prior to having a cleric.
