Mage Question
 

Is it just me or was the level 24 fire elemental hitting harder than the level 29 version ?

There are quite a few factors that go into it aside from level difference.

Like what you were hitting, for example.

I've noticed it also. Both were hitting the same mobs. I wrote it off that i must have had bad luck summoning a low end pet or somethin. Now i'm not sure.
