What happened to the flurry of magicians that used to be seen on the server? Maybe it's just me but they are becoming the "new ranger" in terms of scarcity... in fact I'd say there's more rangers than mages running around.

Any reason for this? As a die hard wizard on live I couldn't lower myself to create one ([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) but still, why are they less popular in the last few months?

They broke mages in many different ways.

Kunark is a huge blow to mages' power, naturally, but combined with what they did to them dev-wise...they're nearly useless except for CoH bots.

No one wants mages in a group typically. I know..I'm in the same boat =/

/lfg for hours on end. Only ever get groups if it's someone in a clique lol

I've found on this server that LFG is a crutch used for the lazy. Being LFG doesn't mean sitting around waiting for a group of 5 to invite you, but you can also use it as a means to form your own group. Start it off as a duo/trio/whatever and expand it to a full group if possible if that's your goal. As for not inviting mages to groups I don't understand that. If I have my tank, cleric, enc then the last 3 spots are for DPS depending on the camp. I may want a monk type to fd pull etc, a rog for dps, etc. What I do have a problem with is if I invite a mage as a tank and the first thing they do is summon an earth pet. A good mage should look at the group compisition and determine what is the best pet for the camp/group composition. Also mages using bs'ing pets that don't worry about positioning their pets and leave it entirely to the tank frustrate me. Just my 2 cents.

when I played live, pet classes and dungeons were not very compatible.

just dont summon your pet till you are at the camp.

Mages really weren't hurt that bad post-29 or so due to how incredibly efficient pet chaining is. The problem is that leveling a mage from 4 to 29 is now incredibly difficult.

yah.. i started a chanter the week after the pet exp nerf.


chanter has to be one of the hardest pet classes to start from scratch with now.

Anyone got any tips for levelling pre-29 then? I'm struggling and thinking of a re-roll to a Necro...
