Is there any point to water pet pre 50?

[Baler]

I used earth pet buffed up till level 24, switched to fire pet chaining and never looked back. I didn't have the focus items for 50's pets so I just chained Monster Summoning II. At 56 Dyzil's Deafening Decoy is legit for soloing. Otherwise in a group I'd use a 54 Water Pet for it's back stab.

The way I look at mage is you can Plvl yourself. Why give away exp?
Find an enchanter who is willing to hit you with clarity while you both solo in nearby but separate locations. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: Earth pet is the only way for the magicians to root (without 1 charge clickies)
