I disagree Magi is lousy, and also disagreed tat magi w/o pet is 1/2 wiz
w/o rooting. In fact, in most places other than dungeon, I mean after lvl
30, magi can solo better than wiz (remember u can solo in HH at lvl 30 but
I cant?).
At high lvl, ya lava spell (900dd) can be purchased easily while we have to
quest or research for our ice comet (1200dd). Ya casting time is also much
shorter I believe (bolt spell casting time is shorter than shocl spells).
Most of magi buff are 'stored buff', where u can summon till u log. I
basically think magi is pretty cool. H/w, above lvl 34, we really need to
find good team and right place to adventure (same for other classes).
Btw, I dun think u need root spell coz ya EE can root for u. Ever notice
how the mob get 'rooted' by ya pet when u send pet in and nuke? When I
team with u, I always wonder why is it so, esp when ya dd is now higher
than mine. I think this is how Verant compensate magi for 'rooting'.
Unlike u, when we team, u send in pet and nuke, mob wont come to u, but it
come to me the moment I nuke. I think Verant make it such tat mob will
treat ya pet as part of u. So when u nuke harder, ya pet can still take
the punishment from u. Most impt of all, when wiz oom, we are dead meat
99% of the time unless we are just next to zone. Magi, on the other hand,
can make use of pet to die for u while u flee to zone. Of coz once ya pet
died, mob will still out run u, but at least u got longer fleeing time than
wiz.
Necro pet is also cool, but their spells are mainly dot. There is no tank
(nuking) mage in EQ, but I believe magi is the only tank AND mage.
I can still solo a bit coz of jboot. U shld know I'm also bad luck like
u..but I guess we just have to keep trying. ;)
