<DIV>What spells lines do you all consider important and key for a coercer who soloes -- and yes I know Charm and Mez are very important and should be Masters or Adept III --but what other spells lines do you all consider important for the soloing coercer -- who would like to solo some heroics as well as regular mobs :smileyhappy:</DIV>

I've soloed to 61 so far and would say the following. Charm. Root Damage reactive. Spell reactive. Spell whip (where target gets attacked with spell it procs some damage) Mez is ok but i dont use it too often solo, mostly when pet breaks. Caster pets are best to charm and dont bother with heroic ones if you have a choice as they wont be more powerful and will break and kill you faster. Almost all your damage as a soloer is through the pet and the damage reactive with the spell one doing a bit less. Use your stuns to give you time to renew the reactives or back the pet off and root or mez if needing time.

But, he is correct for the most part. Soloing is all about getting a pet that can output good dmg. The pet is not for tanking, he's for DPS, so getting all your stuns to AD3 or Master is a good idea as well. Generally, your strategy should be to have the mob dead before your stuns wear off (roughly 12-15 secs). If your pet isn't nuking or DoTing for half the mobs health within the first 5 secs, find a new one or fight easier mobs (assuming you are not trying to take down heroics...which can be done, just a different strategy).

Or if you're feeling lazy and just wanna grind while watching TV, pick up a healer pet. Decent nukes and you don't really have to pay any attention to them at all. Takes longer, but super easy.

No spell can be ruled out. Every one of them has its use in soloing.<div></div>

Cyene <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE> Ive noticed that getting a decent tank pet can also be of great use. A pet with higher than average HP for its level comes in very handy for reactive spells. When I cant find a caster pet I pretty much use my pets as meat shields. Every time the pet gets hit the mob gets hit with 500+ damage if your using Master I reactive spells. Keep refreshing those and the mobs drop quick. The downside to this is all the agro will be on the Coercer so root is a must to have mastered along with stuns for when the mob comes for you.
