Tips From Mage Players?

[Kraftwerk]

Elissa let me try and give you a rundown on why it's so effective:

At higher levels the pet heal is for 200hp at cost of 100 mana. 2hp/1mana.
Summoning a pet will be about 600-1000 hp depending on level, mana cost being 170-200 (depending on spec). Use focus item to reclaim energy old near dead pet for, lowballing, 100 mana. So now you cast a new pet for, including reclaim mana, 70-100 mana. That is 600-1000hp/100 mana or 6 - 10 hp/1mana, much greater than 2hp/1mana with pet heal.

Using this process you have pet attack and kill, you use lvl 1 DD and reap benefits then med while pet kills. Keep going until pet goes below 15% then reclaim recast and effectively you never have to stop killing, your only limit is the number of mobs you can clear in a single cycle using high powered DDs at your own discretion.

Thanks for the responses, this has been a big help. I've been able to solo some red mobs where I can't keep up with the heals by summoning 2-3 pets during the battle and waiting until the end to cast and DD spells to get full XP. I like the fire pet the best so far, but I might try the one with dodge soon.

What do you mean waiting until the end to cast and DD spells to get full XP? Just load your lvl 1 nuke. You only need to do 1pt of damage to receive full xp.

And yes, you should be able to solo red mobs in the method you just described but let me you tell you it's nowhere near as efficient to solo reds. Chain blue mobs and reclaim energy on pet when it has low health. Do 1pt of damage with lvl 1 nuke.

Thanks for clearing this up, that definitely makes a lot more sense.
