Yeah Ive got all ishva robes on my mages, my first setup is ench/4mage/cleric.. The mage pets are pretty weak, I mean water is good dps but dies so fast after level 33/41 pet spells, so earth is the way to go from there and with pet taunt they can rotate aggro to take away from charm pet tanking. The /pet taunt is fuckin awesome. So is the /pet stop. It is too bad necro pets got nerfed with mage pets, I didnt think they were OP as mage pets.
I've never seen that rule be enforced, I mean its kind of like a camp if you ask me, and dps wins. I did see someone get in trouble for repeatedly "roleplaying" killing hasten the evil gnome, which was lulzy but he did it for a week straight before a GM slapped him on the wrist with a 3 day vacation. Also now they added a grizzly bear to the rotation of hasten/bro Z.
On ragefire there was a necro that was automated killing HGs, I wonder if hes on here too. He'd walk to the house south, which I've recently learned has a parcel npc (wtf?) and sell there/parcel probably then walk back and farm. It was pretty low cover but I farmed Z a lot and he was always there on the same route.
Have you checked out ice giants? Used to be a good camp too, and you sell the toes to mages doing the water focus quest.
