Is this Classic? If not seems pretty gamebreaking.

Not sure, it wasn't this way before Green launched. No word from the devs if this was intentional or not

[magnetaress]

It's broken. It could be worse tho.

Sort of class balance adjustment or the aggro code base is very tricky to change (assuming the current behavior is not classic, I cannot say) ?

[Snaggles]

The trick to leveling a mage is low hp blues and time. Less contested camps the better. Nothing slows the progress like not having your spawn(s) when you log in to grind a bit.

If you need to kill something tough with a mage pack a midnight mallet (you have Malosini) and root nets. Ideally in a large open space. Maybe a reaper too. Or level up so you can kill it with one pet health bar; the 57 earth is quite a bit better.

Basically, don’t solo a mage like the other casters do. Solo it like a melee?

Generally this is exactly right. Mage is more like a hybrid class than a pure int caster. With the newish faster root proc, it's easier to deal with two mobs now, however Snaggles is right. Hunt for single pulls, easy blues that die fast.

[Snaggles]

Or even a pure melee. I've said a mage is kinda like soloing a rogue or warrior, its a dps race but you have a fairly tough pet and way more burst. More squishy though.

I guess if I had enough space chain summoning would be my last plan. It's kind of like bow-kiting with a warrior...very gross. Without the space you just gotta race the hp war with nukes.

Ideal leveling though, easy blues, singles as little mana as possible. Later the classic Poof & Boom approach works great.

Keep in mind that if all damage truly went to the owner of a pet on every charm break an enchanter would die. Even in a group or duo. A shaman wolf can keep the ench from being summoned.

On my enchanter if I don't blur off the mob after a recharm it doesn't stop chasing me. Rooted mobs that don't summon are obviously nothing to do deal with
