Honestly mage is often referred to as the “king of classic” for a reason. They aren’t the utility powerhouse other casters can be with CC, transport or pulling, but what they do, they do very well and excel with DPS. In a group, you will speed up the kill time by a large margin (especially in classic where there be many a melee with their tarnished weapons). While solo, they can do very well against on level targets and literally eat the lower level mobs you wish to farm.
Mages honestly are powerful all the way through Velious. The problem is, the monsters get increasingly difficult. And most every high profile solo target in Kunark/Velious requires a slow in order to solo it efficiently/safely. Not saying it cannot be done otherwise, but mobs hit much harder post classic.
