What if Mage summoned weapons didnt suck?

[gortimer]

I feel like when they first made EQ the mage summoned items were supposed to be somewhat decent for people to use. like better than what some folks at the same level of the mage might be using. I feel like this is a missed opportunity. There are tons of "missed opportunity" type things in EQ. What are some things you guys wish P99 would alter for the good of the game?

edit- why i think they were meant to be decent: the items were usable by normal race/class combo's. So they expected players to equip and use them. Although i think it was mean of them to make the haste mask pet only.
