necros Vs mage?

[Snagglepuss]

I agree. Post-pet exp nerf, lower level mages have a big disavantage. However, Dyzil's Deafening Decoy (55) is a pretty cool spell that basically re-invents the glory of the 49 Fire pet. Now the problem is, pets no long instantaneously cast their damage shield. Since it can take 1 to 20 seconds, chaining fire pets is a moot art.

Magi can kill almost anything single with the earth pet, it's just slow as balls.
