Mage 51+

[dwikt96]

So the scaling of mage pets from 1-49 are really nice, the 49 pet is a massive upgrade over the 44 and so on, but as i'm looking at kunark pets i notice there is barely any upgrade - however the mobs get VERY much harder, is mage still a legit class in kunark?

like right now i can duo some of the best content with a sham or enc or cleric, but it seems like id need to chain cast pets to due the same thing in kunark/velious

are mages just kinda left behind in expansions in terms of scaling and strength versus something like a necro or a chanter?
