Mages are up shit’s creek I guess

By carried you mean had to group like 90% of the other classes to level?

Was watching. The mage was literally the tank. He just pulled and tanked for osargen while a druid and cleric healed and chanter runed.

Ah, they were that group in HHK then? I scouted them out when I stopped in for lvl 8 and 12 pet scrolls. Noone was working very hard. Not sure we can claim the mage was "carried" lol. They trivialized 20 y/o content.

It will never cease to amaze me how people that invest countless hours posting biased and/or partial evidence influence the game.

It's funny, you talking about how Mages are "overpowered," considering you play a fucking IKSAR MONK in Velious era.

Really sucks having wasted the entirety of launch weekend. NEVER would have rolled a Magician had I known this ahead of time. Oh well. NO WAY I'm doing the level 1-10 worst-part-of-the-game grind again!

Good luck yall!

i mean research kinda sucks i agree but dude you had plenty of time and ways to know it was gonna be this way.

also, its not as bad as a multiple page thread makes it out to be. Plenty of us researched pets and other spells 1st time around on blue. Sure you are not going to get your new pet right away or even today. But you will get it. Just need more folks to catch up and start trading words and runes.

Mage pet research also requires the PREVIOUS-level pet spell. So if you wanna research a level 34 pet you'll actually have to research four pet spells to do so.

Why are Mages being SELECTIVELY nerfed to make them "Classic?" If that's what we're doing here then Mage pets should steal ZERO XP as long as the owner deals just one point of damage - THAT is ALSO "Classic!"

!"

Why is nobody else talking about this?

You have to research every spell which means ridiculous quantities of materials

My necro on blue leveled 20-29 using the lvl 20 pet. I couldn't ever get the lvl 24pet words to drop nor could I find anyone selling/vendors that had the words for sale. It was tedious, yes. Frustrating, yes. However when I got that 29 pet wooee did I feel powerful. Keep at it. Find caster mobs that your pet can taunt just long enough for you to blow them up w/nukes. That's how I did it and necro nuke at 24 is even crappier than mage nuke [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EDIT: Also this is my first toon on P99 so I was wearing zippo twink gear aside from what I could buy cheap from Ecommons splitting plat pieces. You'll get a deeper understanding of how to flex your character. Muscle it out!
