Mythical also makes Haste a one conc group wide buff and adds double attack to it.

Wow, nice item! Can't wait to be big enough to work toward it. Congrats to those already enjoying it.

<p>As said, you need the mythical weapon.</p><p>In raids it'll make you gain around 400 dps which isn't uber but it's still nice.  Also learn to use: /pet ranged or you'll be resummoning your pet a lot, something you'll have to do now and then anyways.  Your pet has a nice amount of hp but not enough to survive aoe's from the harder fights in the game like trakanon and avatars.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice.</p><p>So, do Illusionists with their epics generally invest in the AA to reduce the time to cast their pets?</p><p>I know that the mythical version of our epic is pretty far down the road for me at this point, but I'm wondering about the value of this AA.</p><p>(edited for spelling)</p><p>Ozrik 31 Illusionist Unrest</p><p>Kairos 80 Warlock Unrest (retired)</p>

Doubtful.There are far more important places to spend your AA's for a raid Illusionist.

When I get in over my head and pet dies I just mez and recast pet and they come up all healthy and rip roaring and ready to go.I maybe don't want to have to admit how often I do this, tho.I think the mythical havers might pop a couple in it, if they were to have some left over, but doubt it is a priority.Pathetica - edited because I assume you mean the mythical weapon not epic.
