Why are mages not more popular?

For me it's the lack of utility. I really like pets but they get old pretty fast. Also how are you supposed to handle more than 1 mob at a time while solo? Without clickies like root nets. I got mine to like 24 and then stopped.

If you can not kill both mobs, you have to get somewhat creative, like helping the pet to kill one mob by nuking it down, gating/zoning, coming back, pulling 2nd mob.

Basically it sucks ass to not have any CC beside your pet and root nets.

There's one thing a mage excels at, post 50: farming low-mid levels camps. You don't need to worry about anything, just keep the pet /guard'ed at the mob's spawn, work on something productive on the side, and check the game window once every 10 minutes or whatever to see if the named has died.
