Was there a mage pet nerf?

[Hobby]

mages are great soloer's once you master the mechanic of it, Smokeinmirrors. dont let what people say dictate what class you want to play.

I played EQ from 99-07. Loved my ranger later on when he got his AA discs, but for Classic content I think my Mage was my favorite.

As long as it doesn't go too far, I think mage pets need a nerf.

I've seen more than once a fire pet out-tank a necro pet even though the nec has the next rank above of pet spells. i.e. 39th fire and 44th nec.

Something needs to be looked at.

Nec pet and mage pet are not comparable, apples and oranges.

I played a necro for many years and I clearly remember having pet envy, but necro pets were not made for tanking. Necros have many tools at their disposal snare, fear, mana regen, and FD.

Class always played a huge roll for necro pets as well. The warrior pets sucked, but they tanked a heck of a lot better than the rogue pets did. I loved the rogue pet for kiting though, he was amazing. Monk pets were good all around pets as well iirc.

Trust me, they are one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful class on the server.

They are THE money farming class along with a couple other casters. There is a huge difference in power between casters and melee in classic EQ. Everywhere you go, if its a money camp or mob, a mage is probably soloing it (unless its one that even mages can't solo).

This isn't whining. I'm just assuring you, you won't be a gimp at all if you play a mage. You'll be one of a million mage alts, but you won't be a gimp.

All though they might not have, it seems that the mage pets are dieing alot faster and not attacking as much as they use to...if the dev's didnt do anything with mage pets they might wana recheck files.

Was there even a patch? I thought they just changed everything back to normal after all the halloween stuff was over.

Hm this happend in SKara on Saturday.

A Mage level 30 was killing Centaur Charger ( level 30 and 31 ) for around 1 hour.

After that he was OOCing .. "Is there a spot with red mobs that are doable for a level 30 mage? These even con mobs are not even worth doing them"

I think mages are in no fact really bad soloers.
