mage fire pet in the 50's

So does the wizard fire pet have ANY use?

I could go to 60 with those three alone.

Sounds fun as hell.

IIRC, it had some limited uses, I just can't remember what exactly. What comes to mind is fire immunity + the fact that it casts some decent wizard nukes that also interrupt other casters...Although its been so long im not sure it's fire immune (although one would think so).

Lord Rak Ahiir in City of Mist could be killed with only a fire pet and a cleric because of its resistance

Not with Kunark era mob hitpoints and damage output.

Unless of course you are into chain casting a pet 3-4 times per mob and then meditating for 5 minutes after each kill.

This.

PS - WTB 60 mag/cleric for help with shammy epic...

pretty sure 99% of people rolling mages just want to blast to 50 and twink their real toon.

I disagree partially - getting to 60 could easily be done that way, if they stuck to old world mobs (you mentioned kunark mobs) which still give xp through 60, they could easily do it this way. I soloed on my monk specifically in Guk and Sol B (LDC's) to 60 because it was so annoying to get a Seb group as generic DPS...

But yeah, Kunark mobs hit too hard to do that.
