Question about Mages

[Vidar]

Hi everyone,

I recently started mage and just hit lvl 8 last night. I have a question on how mages solo at later lvls. Not whether they can or how well. I just want to know the fighting style. I read on the wiki that at later levels a mage soloing just turns into chain casting pets. So, lets say 40+. How do mages go about soloing? What tactics do they use.

PS i have experience with Necros and chanters. neither of which chain cast pets. If thats all mages do it sounds very boring and id rather not spend my time lvling a mage.

Thanks for all the info in advance!
