Mage epic --- game changing?

[Snaggles]

Really easy stuff = epic pet is the best
Tough stuff you aren’t pet tanking = focused water is the best
Very tough stuff you are raiding = Why did you summon a pet? Do you want to wipe us??

There. Saved you all that silly gathering. Go loot a water staff.

As a non-raiding pleb, why no pets in raids?

Depends on the raid, some places they tend to warp. Others they can cause level agro issues being so low

It's almost exclusively in ToV; Mage pets are welcome in most epic fights, in VP and ST, in all of the Planes, and against the old school dragons and gods (eg. Cazic and Tunare).

Sadly though there are a lot of raids in ToV, so it works out to Mages not being able to use their pets in something like half of all raids, just because (back in 2000) the EQ developers failed at creating paths in a single zone.
