pets and weapons

Eh.

I think that it probably works out pretty close to the same xp whether I charm a pet and let him and another mob duke it out then break charm and finish both off OR charm a pet and give him weapons and haste and just let him annihilate stuff while eating some of my xp.

The former results in fewer kills and more mana use per kill, but you get full xp. Without a target to ToT every fight, I'll probably end up at 30% mana after 4 kills and need to med a few minutes before taking on more.

The latter results in more kills at reduced xp but probably with no downtime at all (except for a minute here or there when pet needs to be blurred to heal; shouldn't need this often which cheap slow + stun weapons), even if not facing many mobs I can ToT.


I've never really tested it, this is just my guess. If a charmed pet eats more than 50% xp though, then definitely it wouldn't be as good.
