How bad are mages solo in level-appropriate dungeons?

You don't seem to understand that people enjoy playing different things, or have already chosen a particular class and want to keep putting time into that character.

Those people need to understand they better have a buddy enc/nec/cleric/bard/shaman/druid/paladin to come along if they aren't trying to receive a lesson in futility.

It depends.

Mages can solo crawl almost any dungeon sub 50. Esp if you add in a zheart. If you know where to go it’s actually pretty easy with their op focused pets. 50+ though is a different beast literally just find any class that can root or a bard and you’re good as you highlighted above.

It’s a damn shame though that root nets recharge was blown up and mage pet aggro is jacked. Would be an entirely different story with those 2 things actually classic.

Honestly that isn't the problem. People are simply pointing out that Mages are generally a weak class on P99 in the server's current state. Knowledge is power. Let people know what the strengths/weaknesses are of each class objectively speaking. Then they can decide whether or not those strengths/weaknesses will affect their enjoyment of the game.

If you enjoy playing a Mage, it doesn't matter if the class is objectively weaker than other classes. I think Mages are a fun class to be honest. Pets are fun to use in Everquest. A person who really enjoys a specific class will push the limits of the class, and let other people know what the class can do. If someone wants a class that can do more, they will not pick Mage.
