For 4-50 a mage is always welcome to a group, especially in Vanilla because melee gear sucks.

But for the majority of that level range mobs have a really low HP pool, so gear suckage is irrelevant. You can burn through mobs in a group with bronze armor and mino axes lol.

Mage pet DPS is clearly better than an equivalent level melee with mino axes. Also, pet will never get aggro from tank and even if a pet gets some "oops" damage on them they regen much faster than players so no need to waste mana healing.

But it doesn't really matter that it's better. Most groups aren't going to kick all non-mages, and low level groups still clear content fast enough to where people like the XP rate. That's the point. Just because it's better on paper, doesn't mean it has any practical use. Killing maybe 10 more mobs an hour due to the slight DPS increase isn't going to be noticed by most players.

If you want to Min/Max an XP group, you just need to run a static group.

I like when you post because I've honestly never seen someone take such odd/incorrect stances on things and then defend them to like the death. It's so strange but it's also fascinating and amusing to watch

Sorry you haven't played the game apparently lol. I have never seen a low level group have trouble clearing content. Most people aren't Min/Maxing their XP groups. If they were, they wouldn't play in public groups.

How the majority of players play on P99 matters. Just because something is better, doesn't mean the P99 player base takes advantage of it.

The problem with having 6 mages in a group is everybody is leveling a mage lol, and most people don't want to level a mage.

You could also contribute to the thread, instead of just making yourself look like an asshole lol. Nobody cares about your hot take on what you think of my posts.

Ok man go do a group without any DPS, it will be SUPER fun and efficient. So no pet classes, no charming pets allowed either. No Rogues, no Monks.

Just like a Paladin, a healer, and like an enchanter (only class allowed to DPS is the Paladin). See how that goes. Yeah DPS is irrelevant in this game. Super big brain stuff bro.

I have been in groups like that, and they were great. Sorry you suck.

You cannot ignore raiding just because you're a SK main and don't got guild. Hope this helps.

I sure can. I ignore raiding all the time. I don't care what's going on in temple veeshan this week. I am not alone. I give different advice to folks who want to raid and folks who do not. My shadow knight gives satisfactory service throughout the portions of the game I actually care about. I would not recommend it to someone who wanted to raid 5 nights a week.

The wife and I have a shaman/shadowknight duo. Most our friends tend to be stuff like druids, paladins, etc. Below-average damage output is a fact of life. We do fine. The game would feel so small and limited if we were always trying to optimize everything instead of logging on and doing whatever we felt like with whoever we felt like doing it with. If life lets us start playing regularly again you're welcome to come hang out with us sometime.
