Yea this doesn't work before like 20 when you get lich, because you'd be spending your whole mana bar. Best bet is to find someone to duo with to take away pet exp penalty, or just let pet eat the penalty and periodically heal him if solo.

Stick to killing the undead.

You get a 41dmg nuke for 30 mana (way more efficient than poison bolt)

At level 12 you get Spook the Dead, which is the best undead fear spell. 2 seconds, 10 mana. Simply snare, fear, let pet kill. Engulfing Darkness should do roughly 100 damage for you.

From 12 to 17 I did a lot of "tap-tanking". Could usually kill two (maybe three) dark
blues before mana (and vampiric embrace) was out.

1) Cast Vampiric Embrace on self (should last two or three fights)
2) Darkness
3) Pet Attack
4) Leach
5) Heat Blood
6) Tank mob casting Lifetap to regain health lost.

Used Sacrificial Dagger as weapon (might be better weaps out there). Mobs go down pretty fast. If Vampiric Embrace procs a couple times during fight, don't need the Lifetap as much, which saves mana. No worries about pet outdamaging you because DoTs do full damage.

At around level 17, I headed to Unrest and found groups there and utilized undead spells more (root and dd).

Until you get to level 12, I would park your pet on the noob ramp and pull with siphon strength (doesn't generate a lot of aggro) and then have your pet come in as you pull the mob back to your pet.

I don't think your dots are worth it just yet, and fear is too risky at this level. Just heal your pet and occasionally nuke it with a lifetap.

Once you get to 12, you can solo kurns pretty effectively with your undead nuke. Same tactic applies there too. Your level 12 pet is pretty reliable, but your level 16 pet is garbage.

You can start soloing the entrance of Kurn naked at level 8 if you have a big pair under your caster robe.

real quick related question.

Soloing for life here, level 8 so far.

Just got the level 8 pet

Takes me 10 casts just to get the max level pet (20 bone chips) is this normal?

Thanks.

It's random. So, yeah, that can happen.

Just get some nasty weapons for your pet and then just let it eat the 50%, you have to look at xp/hr instead of xp/kill.

Once you get your array of undead spells, try to stick to killing those as you'll be more mana efficient against them. Later on, when you're more confident and have some decent CC spells for all mobs (good root/fears) you won't really need a summoned pet.

Best way to level, is by stealing the enchanter reverse charming trick and using it on undead mobs (later on though).

2) Heal with dispell (from 44)

Care to elaborate on this point?
