What's the general XP per mob for a blue con, soloed, from 40 or less?

Chaincasting is how much per mob?

Versus one pet and nuking/healing?

I ask because I have been toying with both options(level 33 right now), and either way I get about 1% per mob. Doesn't seem to change.

This is using a Fire pet(s) with the Torch of Alna.

I am starting to thinking chain casting is useless until later levels, unless you are doing yellow/red mobs.

I feel like the fire pet, most of its damage comes from the damage shield, and if you just throw one(largest available) nuke, you do more than 50% of the damage to the mob(DS damage + your nuke). Especially if you resummon until you have a max level pet.

Thoughts?

You are right in your thought about the resummoning of pets: Largely only used at higher levels. Something to think about, though: The highest level firepet doesn't come with that awesome dmg shield you are becoming used to at the lower levels. It, quite simply, is a wizard. Frankly speaking, I have been really hard pressed to find a use for it.
