Level 78 Mage: Am I doing something wrong?
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2013 12:47 pm
So, I am 78 with about 625 AAs and most of my Pet AAs are maxxed except the healing ones. I don't seem to be leveling as fast as everyone is telling me that I should be and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. I am wondering if I am, and I am just
I cannot remember the exact spell names, but I can tell you that I should have the highest level possible for all of them, but here is what my spell load out looks like.
Pet Heal, Short Duration Damage Shield, Malo, Summon DD, Fickle Spell, highest level fire DD ( I think that is is really)
I did have Bolt of the Many up, but since I can only really have two pets on the target it did not seem like it was worth it. I do sometimes still memorize it and only use it with the AA that summons a swarm of pets.
I am using my level 76 Air Pet, and usually try to get fully buffed before i go there. I do not use my merc, and can fight for about 10 minutes without having to med. Also, I never seem to burn through enough mana fast enough to use a mod rod.
Right now I am farming elementals in Katta. I was doing it for real exp but, it seemed far to slow, so I figured I would try to hit 1k AA and then level to 81. So, it can kill one to two elementals easily, even three if I know I am going to take them. But I am not sure that I can farm even 20 AA per lesson. I have not tested it yet, but every is talking to me like I should be easily getting 30.
So, my questions are:
1) First am I expecting too much? Is 20-30 AA a lesson to high to expect?
2) Am I doing something wrong, or do I just need like a few hundred more AAs and then I can roll through things?
My plan is to get to 81 and farm to around 1.5-2k AAs. This would allow me to still farm Katta, PoFire, Paw, and some others solo, and if Ican find a group in the HoT yard, I can get the quests there, and start working on my grouping skills. I know this wouldn't give me the real experience of a group but it would give me a starting point.
I do not mean to come off as rude, more naive. Just don't want to be some douche at max level that looks like I bought the toon.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
