Thanks for you hasty replie mate!
My Conjurer is level 25 so I think i meant 3 up arrows?
At this low level I guess I just may not have enough nukes to make HOs as effective as before? I have a lightning DD...I have the Rock Blast DD and I have the green group lightning. I have two dots now. I read that Seism will also now trigger HOs...though this spell will most often be used in groups and would only cause turmoil in the zones I solo. I also only have two Master spells...Orc, Gnoll and Skeleton....the Skelly being the one I still use more often than not.
Its a shame the pet's defense and our heals were so badly nerfed. Although I'm happy that our wiz pets now do substantial damage and the tank pet taunts very well....whats the use of him taunting well if he can't even take a small beating?
I assume this isn't a bug...just seems odd to me the only way I can take down a named from 4 levels below me or more...3 up arrows heroic....is to root him kill his friends...send pet...dot...autoattack just for any extra dps....constantly heal pet while keeping dots on it.
Sometimes...as due to the roll of the dice...the pet will be almost reduced to orange health...so that I must root the named...pull back the pet and heal/regen him before sending him back in. An odd tactic....am I missing something?
