I think a focused water pet is the best for soloing. I spend far less mana keeping it healed, than I would healing or chain summoning fire pets. Earth pets are pretty situational, and get hit too much. After the patch that changed pet DPS, I feel that around level 20, fire pet becomes less useful for a soloing mage. The incoming damage at, or around that level becomes too dangerous for the additional DS to really make that much of a difference. ~Level 29
Reclaim Energy is going to be too costly for me at end-game too, since I am going to rely on air pets, with two gnoll-hide lariats. But I'm probably playing "wrong."
