How does one solo heroic adventure as a mage ?Follow

Ranger can pacify, snare, root, fester blast, worse case snare get adds leave come back in snare mob still there, same with necro they can fd too. Druid, wizard can do it, sk, pally, enchatner, bard, but mage pulls gets one let alone two adds pet gets owned. I want to know how to solo since I do not box nor have a desire to. Their has to be away or away for mage pet to be able to take on two mobs at once.

I guess a better solution eithier make the marks of valor tradable, have gear fall off of mobs, since I now see they are an option in the bazaar under classes, or let them buy it with station cash platinum or loyalty points.

I've never played a mage, and have only a basic idea of their capabilities, but my understanding is that they have a number of tools to handle adds. Extra pets, swarms, etc. I thought they get some kind of agro clearing ability as well? Not sure. And there's always gate if things go really badly. I'm assuming mages can solo HAs the same way everyone else does: Slowly and carefully.

Get a merc. Otherwise soloing your character wont last long. Lots of rezzing.

Well as a player who's main is a Necro, I still have to admit that re pet tanking, the Mage air or earth pet is better than either Necro pets for this purpose especially named at or just above your level..

But the Necro can avoid adds easier than the Mage on the pull, because of FD/Snare options for splitting/single pulling.

Just a couple thoughts to consider.

Be sure to get the following AA's:

Cloak of Shadows
Drape of Shadows
Companion of Necessity

Those are a solo mage's pulling tools!

A mage with a cleric merc moloing is a force to be reckoned with. I would recommend hanging out with a high level mage,,,,make friends with some and tag along. Offer to do it out of group. Watch everything he does and ask questions. 75 is about as high as Ive played a mage I think. Enjoy the game.
