Just duoing with a priest that can HP buff your pet won't bring back that effective + 1 level of mitigation on Green. Mitigation might not seem like a big deal, but, besides the increased damage shield for focused fire pets, it makes surviving spell casters that much more feasible for pet tanks. Which is a huge deal in classic dungeons: and its especially important for key level ranges where pets are weak relative to NPCs in the 29-39 range.

I personally think the mage hype is over blown, unless people consider Green content to end at the level they are able to join /list for Manastone and Guise. If viewed from that perspective then mages are the best class for getting loot that will someday merge with blue.

Necros and enchanters will still be the only potential primary classes in dungeon duos that can clear guk deadside, and enchanters really stand alone in potency for every other "tough" camp outside of Guk. 49 Earth does decently with focus and slowed mobs, but mages lack one and won't have the other for a while.

I'd say bards swarming / charm kiting will destroy everyone else when it comes to leveling. But it depends on how the AE mechanics will work at launch.
Hate to nitpick but the focus items from sol ro don't add max levels, just hp and pet stats, nor do they increase max hit or ds. The staves of mastery add a level. Maybe they increase the odds of summoning max level pet but I doubt it.

Hrm my experience going off the magician wiki for p99 back in the day always seemed to be off for focused pets max damage and DS, but maybe I've just misremembered it.

Solo I would bet on necromancer. Ench/mage without jboots and no rez sticks just seems scary

But I think duo will blow anything else away, pick any out of ench/mage/necro

Sol Ro Temple was October 1999 I want to say. So 7 months.

There was warrior class armor before this (Crafted), it was patched in July I believe.

Sol ro doesn't even matter. Mages fall off after they can no longer count on getting non-researched fire pets and the damage shield itself doesn't scale well past the 30s in the first place.

Enchanter is pretty ass until 30 or so. and then problem will be too many people already competing for places/mob that would be good exp. Not sure what this "free kill" shit is. Sounds like one of those bullshit "this one weird trick" ads. Neckbeards hate her.

If you think the only way to level fast with a mage is a fire pet you don't really know how to play a mage XD
Also there's no need to chain summon either in the long run chain summoning is just a pain in the ass and after a few pulls you'll just say screw it.

The trick to leveling quickly is just going to be knowing the certain mobs to kill and not worrying about taking faction hits. Really anybody could go after the mobs and kill them it's just mages are going to kill them much faster. And it's going to depend on things like how much time does one spend getting plat and items to boost mana also.
Yea you could do it naked sure but you're going to get bogged down with mana problems.

There are certain camps a mage will have a really hard time breaking also while a necro would have no problem breaking it. That is the biggest problem with the mage, oh yea he'll kill stuff probably faster than a wizard and a hell of a lot faster then a necro but splitting 2 mobs is a pain. You've got to use an earth pet and nuke one mob off kite it and kill it (so you'll need sow) resummon and finish off the first mob and hope to get the timing right when they repop.
