I played both a mage and shadowknight in classic (99-01). Only made it to the 30's with both of them, but I wanted to comment on a couple items.
1st, when my mage was in the 20's (circa Fall '99) my fire pet could barely kill a blue--maybe an even con-- by itself. Much less a red con. The DS was great, but the low HP's made the fire pet a liability in the face of a heavy hitting mob. Of course, buffs would change this considerably.
2nd, Disease Cloud really did snap agro like crazy. I played SK from '00-'01, and even then it was one of the defining abilities of the class.
