I rarely run out of mana on my Mage because I try to pick the right level of DB mob to kill and let the Fire Pet on average do ALL the damage. I know you take a XP hit but a Fire pet can kill fast as hell so I don't see the need to sit and med for 8 minutes at a time. I hate that crap. And the XP is, I think, better than any other class in the game other than a Necro maybe. I think even better. They kill mobs fast. We are not talking a Paladin here lol.

I save my mana for when things go to crap, which they do on a Mage, because you have very little CC. Lets not sugar coat it, you have almost NO CC. I hardly ever use the Earth pet, but I must admit they have helped the agro out lately with the pets on the last few patches. So I suggest you keep enough mana at all times to gate, have a reasonable nuke memed, and maybe even enough to cast even a lower level pet to save your arse. Gate is your friend playing a Mage trust me. Learn how to bind in good spots or right at the ZL's.

What level is your mage? Wouldn't the pet need time to recover HP if you aren't chain summoning?
