Pets heal at an amazing rate during combat so you can do amazing things by putting the combat on hold, by mezzing, then taking a break to regen power and health (for your pet). Sorcerors have to go all out to kill something before it kills them but Enchanters have the luxury of calling a "timeout" -- so take advantage of that for the really tough fights.
This works well in group situations too though it's harder to convince party members to stop fighting for a few seconds, heal and regenerate power. If I could only mez my own party members. . . :smileywink:
