I Dont Feel Like Playing My Mage Anymore....

This game wasn't meant to be soloed. Content was designed to be done in parties. It sucks that the servers population is low - but it could be worse. You could be a rogue without any twinkage, who can't solo anything.

And yet, there are classes who solo very well. Even better than they did in classic... Just look at the buff they gave to root dot casters recently. They buffed them, but nerfed mages.... No logic whatsoever.

Certain abilities are OP.

DoTs are OP, especially combined with snare / fear / pet.
Slow is OP, especially combined with regen / heals.
Charm is OP, especially combined with mez / pacify.
Feign Death is OP, especially combined with best damage mitigation / 25% heal on 6 min cooldown.
Mana-Free PBAE DoT is OP, especially combined with run speed buff.

Sadly mage don't get any of these OP abilities, but we can't all be NEC / SHM / ENC / MNK / BRD aka the OP classes.

Sure but.. mages used to be stronger than they are. So explain why we got nerfed?

from what i remember hearing about classic p99 - any encounter could be done as long as you had an army of mages with their pets. trivialized content like Plane of Sky. prob had something to do with it in addition to the other aspects people mentioned.

ive never once played a mage in EQ, so im not sure personally how weak they are

Kingdom's first alt army was a ton of mages that they used to burn through Sky (and other content) in the server's earlier days. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But again, the goal of this place is classic EQ, and mage pet agro didn't work like this in classic.
