Not sure if this works or not...

But when I solo with my mage, I will let my pet bring the mob to like 5%, then cast reclaim energy on pet to kill it. Then I finish the mob off with whatever nuke does the 5% dmg.

My theory was that this should work because of how charming works. When I charm two mobs, I will invis to break charm and finish the ex-charmed pet 1st, then the 2nd one for full exp on both. If I kill them in reverse order, I gimp my exp on one of the mobs, because the one that did dmg. is still alive.

So I think it might work the same way with mage, if you dismiss/reclaim pet, it wipes the dmg list for that source, and you are then 100% of the damage of the 5% left.

This does indeed work and I have been resorting to that on my mage in his 40's.

If you put a 'shield of fire' on your earth pet, does that damage count towards your own damage, the pet's damage, or is it not counted at all, and you simply have to do 50% or more of the remaining damage?

I've tried this out on my druid and mage and it would appear as though the damage from a DS counts toward no ones damage.
