Sympathy and some advice...
Sounds like some bad luck, my Mage just got out of the Robo levels and is into MD now. One thing as a mage, and much ealier on my archer, I usually don't ask for a party till several minutes into it. If I do get a party right away and see a good tank without cleric support I offer my place to them. Often not many in the mid 40's doing the KQ, but the best ones I've seen are when a good 40 something fighter gets a good cleric or 2 backing him and mocks away. When that happens as a mage I glue myself to his a-- and start aoe'ing as soon as I see the mock. Otherwise only attack things already damaged, especially at the lower level end.
Also when you get around the 40's don't be afraid to solo the vivi's. (with plenty of hp stones/potions of course) As a mage you're magic defense is better against them than most fighters that they can mow down fast.
Generally best to avoid the KQ on weekends it seems to me too. Seems to be more idiots in them then. But that might just be my server or the current batch going thru it.
