so Skope you are compareing a mage to a rogue/monk in a raid setting compared to what the topic was about DUOING. Mage and shammy are redick together. duel pets, slow, rods, torpor blah blah etc... but on this server the way charm is crazy OP. i would go 2 necros...druid/chanter.
No, the raid setting was just thrown in.

I just see a mage differently than most. They're a fantastic solo class that has an uncanny ability to take down 4-5 blue mobs at a time and wasting very little mana to do so. This skill is heavily dependent on the mob's health and their damage output, but still is quite incredible. They also can take down some very nasty things that have incredibly high amounts of HP using the same tactic (think allizewsaur). But their utility shows itself only in a raid setting or grouped. A mage/shaman is fine, but there's still issues with that combo that you won't see with a rogue or monk, the latter in particular. You'd be better off with a mage/cleric. They can do surprisingly well together.
