So what are we doing wrong with the magician? I have never played a magician before and it is an exercise in frustration. We are level 11. His pet is so weak. If we don’t start nuking blues, they wipe out his pet. Once we start nuking, the Mobs agro us and we either survive and have to wait eons for our health to regenerate or we die altogether.

Is there a way to make it so the pet does not need to be spammed /back when an ad attacks it? We hate that when I try to mezz an Ad, he has to spam /back so the pet won’t start attacking it again. Does /follow work instead?

I think he won’t mind playing a cleric. He plays mostly to socialize with the online community, but perhaps a Druid would be more fun for him than a cleric? I already have a shaman.
