Does anybody have information about all the collective effects of Arcane Distillect? I don't see it called out on Lucy, on ZAM or even in this very thread. "The New Pet Aura" does not seem to say much if you can get both it, and the old Aura up at the same time.

Wow... another bomb just got dropped. Yeah, that's a huge heal!! No I don't have any of those types of spells and was not aware they exist. That will ABSOLUTELY make an additional huge impact on soloing. Looks like a 10-12k heal after 3 ticks? Especially with a super fast cast time! I don't have any...

Well I picked up a copy of Chaotic Boon Rk II last night (got the gem for 500pp :) ) and I'm very happy to say that it definitely helps and it's a very nice boost to soloing ability indeed! I only saw a single copy of the Arcane Distillect Rk. II gem and it was going for 68k!!! Just about every othe...

No, not a shot at the messenger. It was the way you said it and what it appeared you were stating was THE problem. The problem as you first stated it was my gear, not the design of the HoT pets. Anyways, :) Thanks for the help with the sig! I have already updated it and that's indeed much better. It...

Sure, maybe that's not what her intent was. Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate her on these boards and the time she puts into the mage class. But what she wrote does come off like I described. That's my opinion anyways. Wow, Chaotic Boon! No I was not even aware that it exists. I do look ove...

Danille, click my magelo. I'm actually 86 not 76 and I'm speaking from experience being 86. I just haven't updated my signature for some time. The EM8 focus that I find when searching appear to be for level 90 mages or raid mages. Life does not permit me to raid (time wise) and I was hoping to see a...

I love it that you are replying to my posts, I really appreciate it. Thank you.

But did you read what I just wrote?

I could not say I agree with the Dev's on this one. If all a mage did was pet tank, then I would agree. But the gear we gain in the new levels also effects our mana regen, HP regen, mana savings, spell damage, casting range, buff duration, total HP pool, total mana pool, etc. We STILL have a need fo...

Although I'm sure a higher focus will help, that's missing the point.

The level 86 Air pet is focused by my current focus. So was my last pet. The new pet is barely an upgrade when comparing apples to apples. I was expecting a lot more.

I just dinged to 86 last night and spent some time in Tosk soloing with the new 86 air pet. My first reaction is that I'm very underwhelmed by their strength. As a mage that has played since 1999 I've been through it all and what this VERY much reminds me of is the increase we got from the level 49 ...
