[Pari]

<div></div><div>With LU 19 I made an Illusionist and got to lvl 19 yesterday. So far I have fun playing this char. It is not an easy class to play but interesting.</div><div> </div><div>My questions:</div><div> </div><div>Is there a possibility to controll my personae?  He only attacks, when I get attacked. I guess it's not like a pet the conjuror gets but still.. do I miss something?</div><div> </div><div>What Weapons should I get at lvl 20? What should I look for? My guess is to get as much int as possible. Is that correct?</div><div> </div><div>Wich spells are worth upgrading to Adept 3? (if I find the rares).</div><div> </div><div>Main stat Int, Secondary???</div><div> </div><div>I tried to find a faq/starter guide for Illu's but haven't found one.</div><p>Message Edited by Parin1 on <span class="date_text">02-13-2006</span><span class="time_text">12:24 PM</span></p>

This is where you dismiss him too. Don't forget to dismiss and resummon him whenever you ding too. I think you can map the above pet commands to the hotkeys too, but the pet window shows you his health and power.</div>

<div></div><div>Good advice given above there.</div><div> </div><div>If you want to keep a mob rooted at a distance and prevent your pet from being hit too much in melee, you can pull him back using the green 'back off' command and ask him to reattack. He should then cast spells at range.</div><div> </div><div>If he looks like he is going to die, cancel dots, and get ready to mezz the mob. You can then resummon a new pet.</div><div> </div><div>There best place for illusionist info is right here, but try <a target="_blank" href="http://www.eq2daily.com/wiki/index.php?title=Illusionist"><font color="#999273">http://www.eq2daily.com/wiki/index.php?title=Illusionist</font></a> if you would like a 'guide'.</div><div> </div><div>Aora, level 60 Illusionist on Runnyeye</div><div> </div>
