I don't understand why anyone is arguing about DPS. A group with multiple charm pets is not lacking DPS. Mages are useful at fungi king to coth players as you swap out. That's about it

They are arguing about DPS, because DSM made some inflammatory claims about mage vs shaman dps, and people engaged with him seriously, which as we've seen over the past few weeks is futile.

The mage is there to malo and provide a beefy pet to tank when charm breaks, which with 2 enchanters is doubly valuable. The utility is also non-trivial while overall DPS is not significantly lower than 3x chanter.

Lol you think factual math is inflammatory. Sorry reality isn't good enough for you. Mages just aren't that special, I am sorry.

Mage offers much less than a shaman here. But shaman offers much less than a cleric or necro. Stuns/screaming terror more utility than Malo.
Multiple charm breaks will happen simultaneously, more assistance is better than a bit of dps

Ripqozko is basically UCF. Isn't that hilarious? It continues to be true that nobody cares about your bad Warder loot that can all be replaced with better ToV items.

Ah now the terrible joke drops. Looks like I hit a nerve. Sorry nobody cares about low tier Warder loot. Get real Warder loot next time so people care.

DSM seriously making the argument that a Shaman can out-DPS a Mage because he root rots four mobs at a time is one of the most breathtaking displays of autism ever seen on these boards.
