The best question here is how many mobs can a mage kill over an hour straight? Better yet, 10 hours? Sure you may be able to summon a pet, buff, start a timer, and kill 5 mobs before 6 minutes. But eventually you'll have to re-summon or heal your pet. You'll have to rebuff your pet. You'll have to run a bit to find mobs. You'll have to wait on respawns. Groups are being undersold and a mage's ability to solo is being glorified in an attempt to prove a point. I'm trying to be the voice of reason.

But that's the problem, reason on P99 is about as welcome as a stripper in a nunnery.
Did it myself for at least 5 hours straight. I didn't mean 5 mobs in a single period of 6 minutes, I meant 250 mobs in 5 hours. Lost my rhythm with a crash to desktop.
