Skope, I am curious, was this with or without the epic pet? I heard mages were really bad without the epic pet, but once they had the epic pet they were one of the top DPS again. I never played a mage past level 12 in classic myself, nor did I play much kunark or velious.

The epic pet was fantastic, unfortunately though it was also one of the hardest epics to acquire. It really is a fantastic and game-changing epic, but until that point it's pretty much earth pet all the way for solo, and air/water for groupage. Kunark and velious mobs hit harder and have more HP, so when chaining pets means you don't DD and makes you kill a bit slower and thus less effectively. The nukes take somewhat of a nosedive for a mage because of the great nukes that wizzies finally get in kunark/velious, not to mention the lure line. My gripe with the mage isn't that they're not great soloers. They are, and very much so. The issue i have is that it gets very boring and one-dimensional.
and JBB is awesome. Sick pet, malo, slow and root>Dot. click the JBB while waiting to reapply roots/dots.
