pretty much the same shit since level 4

put in a /pet back off and another pause before the /pet attack - this is how you keep it focused on the correct target. Use the macro several times during the fight too.

Mages are great soloers, but add a lot to a group as well. I too have been using a parser and am quite surprised by our output. The damage is always great, and when stuff hits the fan, dump your mana bar to clear targets. You can probably solo a target or two in the time it takes the group to manage the rest.

But compared to a necro - if the pet bites it and you don't have 10 seconds for a new pet, you kind of feel useless. No roots, no mez, no CC at all. If you can't use pet and can't nuke, those crucial moments can seem like a nightmare. Learning to chain pets even in a group is useful.
