The incoming damage at, or around that level becomes too dangerous for the additional DS to really make that much of a difference. ~Level 29

Reclaim Energy is going to be too costly for me at end-game too, since I am going to rely on air pets, with two gnoll-hide lariats. But I'm probably playing "wrong."
The water pet is something I've never tried but it looks pretty beefy. The fire DS is really nice, but I wonder if (especially since as of yet I've only been able to procure the water focus) a focused water + my casted DS on it is going to be the best bet until I can score the Torch...

On a completely unrelated note, if I wanted to solo some evil eyes for some cool bracelets to replace my cloth ones, would the Air pet be the way to go? Or am I just dreaming about soloing evil eyes at level 29? I remember them being quite nasty.
