Torch just doesn't cut it, imo the staff lets you use your fire pet till 56 when u can u dyzz. But if u can make it swing more power to ya. As far as the cothing, you don't coth yourself, u poof ur pet right as coth is about to land, then resummon. It's also a great way to get past see invis, especially in seb.

naerron don't let the trolls hate on you, that's going to be a super helpful guide to a whole lot of new mages, regardless of whether or not it's 98% or 95% or whatever percent to the liking of some of the board heroes

A for effort

What the hell are you talking about now? Holy shit the thread is going to hell. It's this kind of misinformation that can lead a noobie mage to gimp himself for half his /played.

DO NOT USE ANY FIRE PET OVER LEVEL 49.

DO NOT USE ANY FIRE PET OVER LEVEL 49.

DO NOT USE ANY FIRE PET OVER LEVEL 49.

This is how you play a mage to level 51: get your Torch of Alna and the highest level fire pet you can find. That's pretty much fucking it.

After 50, what you really want to aim for is your AIRPET. They are nasty as shit between dd stuns and kicks. They are easily the highest sustained dps... water has nothing on airpet. And if you're using a fire pet higher than the level 49 spell, you're not playing your mage efficiently whatsoever. There is literally ZERO use for them.

Slave, what he means is that you can use your level 49 fire pet all the way till 56, if you have the fire staff from hate. He didn't mean that you use the 50+ fire pets. With his method of having DS's do a large portion of the damage, it makes sense.

Dude... WHAT DIFFERENCE does it make if you use a Torch of Alna or an Elemental Staff of Fire... because they both work on the 49 fire pet, except that the Torch of Alna is about 600pp and the staff is like 100,000pp equivalent. DO YOU GET IT NOW?

And the 53 AIRPET is WAAAY stronger than the 49 fire. So what is your point??

i like what your trying to do here with writing a guide and all, but this information will just slow a mage down while leveling. and as people have stated, there is no reason to use a 49+ fire pet, they are all terrible.

the strat to level is still exactly the same as it has always been, you just have to kill twice as many mobs now. which will still get a mage 1-50 much faster than most classes, even though its complete bullshit.

I feel bad for Naerron, it is clear that all of the people who are flaming him didn't even bother to read his post.

Maybe I should change the title to pro Mage stray, noobs need not bother. I'll address all your concerns in terms of air pet use and why I think 49 fire pet is valuable and why u don't just be an idiot and let pet soak up exp, when I am not on my iphone

And also thanks for the support from some. It's
