In addition to the above (pardon if I missed a comment), also note that the fire pets--a staple of pre-expansion Magicians--are widely regarded as terrible post-level 50. Furthermore, Velious comes out soon enough and it amplifies the problem: Velious monsters tend to hit a lot harder than Kunark opponents do and Magicians will be stuck using the same pets that were already borderline inadequate in Kunark. Many years of history on P1999-blue demonstrate that a great many Magicians will top out at level 55 for Call of the Hero at which point they'll quite often be relegated to pre-park duty. Those who make the push to 60 are most often grouping or at least duo'ing for much of their gameplay time.
