PVP - Queynos - Conj vs Illu

[Dray]

Hello People, I'm back to EQ after a long pause and wish to move to a PVP server "just to see" <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />I've been playing healer/tank/scout kind of char in the past and would like to try my hands on a mage type now...I'm into pets, and wishing to move to Qyenos side, so that leaves me with 2 choices on this PVP server : Illu & Conj.I dont have alot of time to play these days but still already rolled those 2 chars on the starter's island and brought them both to level 9. Unfortunately, i really cant play both alot more to get an idea and so far i find both classes quite easy to play and they levelled fairly evenly (though both in a different style)What would be your pro's/con's of both in the long run? I dont dream of owning everyone i come accross, but xp fairly well and stand my own in PVP, solo ou groupedI like the mezz/root/stun abilities of the illu, but how does that stand in PVP? The illu pet on the other side (a copy of me <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />) seems less reliable than the Conj pet etc etc*posted on the conj's forum aswell*

Illusionist would be the better choice if you were to get it into the 50's for solo/group pvp.  If your dont think you will be able to play much, conj would be the better choice for low lvl pvp. <div></div>

Was wondering, why does an illus get better @ 50 for pvp? I'm a 37 illus atm and wanna know what I have to look forward to, thanks. <div></div>
