I'm playing a mage for the first time on Green, I'm only at level 17 but I'm enjoying the different pet strategies I've found so far.
Pets seem to be around 80% of the Mage toolkit so I'm spending time with each pet seeing how they do breaking 2 and and 3-spawns of blues. I've found good success with the fire, water, and earth pet in different situations. I haven't tested the air pet much yet.
The fire pet's damage shield is 3x stronger than the castable damage shield at my level, which opens up some interesting strategies. The earth pet has SO MANY HP, and is a great off-tank for your group in dungeons when an enchanter isn't in the group. The water pet is solid DPS and still quite tanky, my water pet could off-tank yellow and red mobs without dying while the group dealt with another mob. I'm interested in testing air pet more when fighting casters, the stun seems like it would be quite useful.
So far I'm really enjoying the class. Good luck in your adventures!
