<DIV>I have a conjurer alt.  I love to play, but I have been having some problems post patch.  I am currently level 22 (I know that is low, so bear with me).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do have a couple of questions-</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is the level 20 pet good for anything?  It seems to me that my adept 1 recruit is much better.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What are some good stratagies for soloing?  I have recently grown fond of splitpaw, especially the upper tunnels.  I got killed 3 times in a row in Harclaves though.  The pet usually dies quite quickly after I touch the ark.  If I am lucky and do not get any adds, I can kinda do ok in there, but it is very difficult.  I presume that Harclaves is not for Conjurers?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I found a Jasper and had a guildie make me an Adept 3 Tell Solider.  I have another jasper and was wondering which other 20-29 spell I would get the most mileage out of.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>How well do conjurers perform in a group?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jabird</DIV> <DIV>Guk</DIV>

<DIV>You will find that conjs can do a lot of damage in groups, and they are still good for soloing.  Harclave is a little different for our class since our pet does not seem to get the buff.  Let yourself tank after you get the buff, you will do a much better job.  Please keep in mind that the last time I was in harclave was before the patch, so it may no longer be a good idea to do it this way.  Just get your DPS pet out and start keeping the agro yourself.</DIV>

<P>Which pets are DPS and which are tanks?</P> <P>K</P>

Fire/air = DPS, Earth (Tellurian) = tank. The level 20 pet is fire, so it's only good in a group. Don't try to solo with it. <div></div>

Only good in groups? Since when?Ive done great solo with the lvl 20 pet, you just have to know when and where to use it.

<DIV>Thanks for the info - </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jabird</DIV>

Here is the equation I use: Fire pet when I'm in a group fighting groups of mobs. Air pet when I'm in a group and we're fighting tough single heroic mobs. (ie boss mobs, etc) Earth pet when a tank is needed. I have been known to use the fire/air pets when soloing, but they don't seem to taunt as well. The air pet kills things fast though. That's always a fun time.I hope this helps ya.<div></div>
