Necros currently have a pet heal but mages don’t...

This isn't really a viable strategy until your pet gets innate dual wield at level 44. Before that, you need to give your pet 2 summoned swords to get it to dual wield. You also need to rebuff haste. All of this adds to the setup time and mana cost of each new pet. It might be more mana efficient than healing your pet past a certain point, but it feels really gross with an untwinked Vanilla EQ mana pool. Necro leveling feels much better.
