Mage Pet Spells
I played a mage on live, and I remember that all of the pets would cast every 6 seconds except the air stun, which was 12. This matches lucy precisely:

And in fact I remember that magicians were concerned that their pets were wasting time casting these spells rather than meleeing and GZ was sure that it was not a problem. I recently bought a Magician and my feeling was that the pets were not casting nearly enough. So I went out to DL, maloed some green/lb cons and sicced my pet on them. I was carefully watching for resists, but between the low level of the mobs, malo, and getting lucky on the level of the pets every spell landed. [Thu May 09 22:08:31 2013] A drolvarg rager is stunned by a gust of air. [Thu May 09 22:08:43 2013] A drolvarg rager is stunned by a gust of air. [Thu May 09 22:09:07 2013] A drolvarg rager is stunned by a gust of air. [Thu May 09 22:09:24 2013] A drolvarg rager is stunned by a gust of air. [Thu May 09 22:09:42 2013] A drolvarg rager is stunned by a gust of air. [Thu May 09 22:10:04 2013] A drolvarg rager is stunned by a gust of air. [Thu May 09 22:14:25 2013] A voracious brute's feet sink into the ground. [Thu May 09 22:15:26 2013] A voracious brute's feet sink into the ground. [Thu May 09 22:15:48 2013] A voracious brute's feet sink into the ground. [Thu May 09 22:18:46 2013] A stonegazer cockatrice is slashed by shards of ice. [Thu May 09 22:19:03 2013] A stonegazer cockatrice is slashed by shards of ice. [Thu May 09 22:19:31 2013] A stonegazer cockatrice is slashed by shards of ice. [Thu May 09 22:19:44 2013] A stonegazer cockatrice is slashed by shards of ice. Now my (possibly faulty) memory is that the pets would cast every 12/6 seconds like clockwork. But even if it was somewhat random, I am 100% sure that the earth pet rooted more than once a minute. This is not only a pretty big issue for mages, but I'm wondering whether dragons are casting their aoes frequently enough.

Would also like to add that I feel pet aggro is screwy on this server as well. I will pull stuff in KC with burst of flame and half the time the mob will ignore my pet's full round of melee and still go at me. I guess sitting aggro is some of this, but still i never have this problem on my enchanter with charmed pets.

are you hasting your pet first? on red they cast like crazy. air pet will perma stun and earth pets will perma root.
edit: i actually have no idea if haste increases chance to cast. i guess the point is, mage pets already stong as hell. you really need a buff?

classic is as classic does.
edit: Also I would add that Kazmeir does not feel overpowered at all in comparison to my other characters. That might change if I managed to get him an epic perhaps.

You should probably take a look at this on EQMac, I don't believe pets ever casted their Innate Attacks every 6 seconds. I guess it is supposed to be random between 6 and 24 seconds with the average being 12.
