What do mages really have going for them?

Why Rogue’s and Monk’s in raids easily outparse Mages.

I have no problem with Mages, I just don’t like this false notion perpetuated that they’re leagues above other DPS in damage output. It’s simply not true.

It depends on level and gear. In the early levels on a fresh server, mages spanks melee classes hard. Their pets are ridiculous compared to an ungeared melee class and their nukes are almost on par with wiz nukes. That isn't necessarily the case now that Green is mature enough to have low-level twinks and decently geared mid-level characters.
