Good mob selection is key to mage soloing. You want to target dark blues that your focused fire pet can reliably solo down to under 20% by itself, without you nuking or needing to chain a replacement pet. This is entirely possible. You shouldn't have to chain cast pets for XP pre-50 at all. You will, of course, have some occasional runs of bad luck where you get a minimum level pet vs. a max level dark blue mob, in which case you will probably be forced to chain another pet. But those instances should definitely be the exception. If you're regularly having to chain pets while leveling you're doing it wrong. Hunt lower level and lower HP mobs.
