Watching a earth or fire pet tank the mob to 50 percent or so and then having the mag and wizard cast there nukes can burn down mobs EASILY. The mage having malosi helps out the wizard as well. Yeah your gunna have some down time to med of course but they really can take a mob down easily before any other class combo imo unless its a high MR mob tho.
Killing mobs quickly doesn't mean efficiently - it might mean the opposite. Mage nukes are almost as mana efficient as a wizard's. And if both the mage and wizard are chain nuking, there's a likelihood of an earth root break - unless you're snaring the mob, in which case you're gonna waste time running around rather than nuking - which would mean a necro's Dots are actually going to beat you in a speed battle, since they can stack them, then run.

Temp flux staff except on planar+ mobs seemed to be enough, malise is kinda pricey on mana.
Dunno if this works on p99 - people used to also do it with Goblin Gazughi ring. I stand corrected if it does work - but I don't think it does.

yeah when I played with my bro I would snare the mob and just constantly click the flux staff to get aggro and kite it around while my bros pet would destroy most of it. It works pretty well in a jam.
If you just needed someone to pull aggro, you could get that from a better class...


Again, i didn't argue that it can't work or it's unfeasible - it's just not all that efficient.
