Default Mage pet PL service - faster than a Monk

Contact Wheeler for rates. Proven faster than lvl 50 monk FD PL.

And how does the mage wipe agro?
Or is there some exploit if only the pet does damage but not the owner?

This doesn't wipe agro, it transfers agro to the mage.

Also, this is not faster than a monk if the mage has to cast a new pet after every kill.

Besides, the monk does more damage than all mage pets (besides fire) and could use a DS potion if he really wanted to be even faster.

No it doesn't, which is why mages can chain pets to kill things so easily on this server. It's especially easy to PL this way if you use the instant click reclaim energy from mage focus items to drop your pet instantaneously when the mob is at 1 or 2%.

It's not the reclaiming of the pet that takes time and mana, it's the casting of a new one. There is no way a mage can keep up the same pace as a monk with regen and DS. It just sounds very inefficient to me with too much downtime. What sort of mobs are we talking about anyway where it's worth recasting a 42 DS pet per kill?

Kedge. Mage can break floor 1 and floor 2 solo and use all those mobs for PLing. I am not even sure a monk can solo a cauldron shark or a hammerhead shark? There is 0 downtime for a mage because you med during the fight and you desummon your pet with your torch which gives you nearly full mana back. So you actually end up gaining mana while you PL.

I've done this personally. It's faster than a monk, cheaper, and safer.

Also, agro does transfer to the mage but it's minimal. The reason why you can chain pets and not get hit is because the next pet is cast before the mob can get to you. If you didn't cast a new pet in time the mob wouldn't just sit there and do nothing, it would attack you. Hence, agro has been transferred.

guinea, you're wrong. this is how i have my warrior PLed.

it only costs 200 mana to summon a pet, it only takes like 6? seconds to cast a pet spell, and when you reclaim you get the majority of that mana back.

The rest you get while medding while pet kills.

Is it faster than monk? that prolly depends on each player, but its fast, it works. and you're dumb for speaking on things you've not actually tried.

Also - Pet quads for 58 and has a 42 point Damage shield. Its on par if not stronger than monk damage if its tanking.
