Necros currently have a pet heal but mages don’t...

This isn't really a viable strategy until your pet gets innate dual wield at level 44. Before that, you need to give your pet 2 summoned swords to get it to dual wield. You also need to rebuff haste. All of this adds to the setup time and mana cost of each new pet. It might be more mana efficient than healing your pet past a certain point, but it feels really gross with an untwinked Vanilla EQ mana pool. Necro leveling feels much better.

chain pets have weird agro on green compared to blue/live. indoors its not viable at all. outdoors it requires progressively more kiting to regain agro as you go through additional pets (on allizewsaur for instance). This happens whether you're buffing the new pets or not.

Also at lower levels, fire pet with pet heal was the OP method of grinding xp on relatively easy blue mobs. at low level pets cost too much, and the value of a max level pet is too high for chaining them to be viable, as well as the need for new weapons as the previous post said

Mage get's to damage shield it's pet, necro doesn't so OP, does that mean necro should get DS for it's pet? No, they're different classes and have different spells which makes them different and play different. Very simple.

Chaining is boring, make friends and share the wealth it’s more fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
