/pet go away, obv

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.

Besides the fact that Mages can do it with lvl 44+ mobs, generally the person you are plvling should be hitting on it same time as pet if they know what they are doing, thus when you reclaim the agro transfer to the person you are plvling (That would counter guineapig agro wipe thing, but not agro wipe, just other person has more agro) and gets DS'ed. Plus because the person was hitting on it the whole time, you can generally make another pet and send it in to kill it quicker if it was running or not. (very effective if the person you are plvling is too low to kill it properly)

So what i am saying is, person hitting on mob take off 5-10% while pet was on it, mob runs at 8-12%, pop pet make another pet and kill it. Person get xp.

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

PLing for 1-30/35 = druid, 30/35-50 = mage hands down.

50 necro is also not a bad option, with the ability to rot / FD

mnk, shk, nec, mag, shm, dru

in that order imo

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.
