[Necro]At lower levels, how the hell am I supposed to outdamage my pet?

[Malone88]

At level 12, I just tanked myself.

Vampiric Embrace buff then dot it with Darkness, Leech or Heat Blood,
and things die pretty fast AND you don't worry about the pet xp
penalty AND you get full damage from your dots. Don't need uber gear either.

I could usually clear 4 blue mobs in succession before Vampiric Embrace expired and my mana was out.

Thats what worked for me at that level....getting a little tougher to do this now that I'm at level 20.

Yeah, after level 20 that strategy becomes less of an option I think, especially with fear kiting / agro kiting being so much more viable. Also - if you decide to hit zones in Kunark, the mobs hit harder than equally leveled mobs in classic, while having a bit more hp.
