There are a variety of way's to use pets to
experience as a druid, as well as a variety
of way's of getting those pets. The 2 way's
we get a premanent pet is by summong a pet
via nature walker's behest and dire charming.
Nature walker's behest will summon a level
35 bear to your aid. Considering the level
you have to be to get this spell it makes
it just about useless. Dire charm on the other
hand allows you to charm a level 46 and lower
pet. Go here
to see what pets can be Dire charmed. Dire
Charmed pets can be a very significant DPS
in a group especially in the Planes of Power.
Regular charming is done using a a spell from
our line of pet spells. Additional
spells are also useful in conrtolling your
pet and buffing him. Freal Spirit and savage
spirit both increase the pet's attack speed.
Glamour of Tunare lowers a animal's magic
resist thus making it easier to land a charm
spell and it also makes the charm spell last
longer.
Regular charming:
At level 14, druids get a line of spells that
allows us to charm animals. The 'charm' time
is random and whatever you charm will aggro
on you once the charm breaks. A general rule
of thumb is the lower the animal cons to you
the longer it will usually stay charmed.
Charming can be risky business. It is wise
to snare your pet before charming it and also
snare the mob that you will be fighting. This
will give you time to re charm the pet if
charm drops during the fight.
The 2 spells Feral Spirit and Savage Spirit
will singificantly add to the speed in which
your pet attacks. Depending on how you plan
on using your pet you may or may not want
to use these spells. If your pet has a large
amount of hit points you may want it to come
close to death during a fight. It is more
mana efficent and better experience to invis
just before your pet kills the mob and then
root both your pet and the mob and kill both
getting full experience for both kills. If
you have hasted your pet in a fight like this
he will have significantly more hit points
that you have to remove to kill him. This
will be much easier than healing your pet
up to full health before every fight.
Aggro
Kiting:
This can be done either using dire charm
or regular charm spells. Basically if you
have the room and the mob that you wish to
kill does too much damage to your pet to sustain
it you can aggro kite the mob. The key to
this is keeping the mob and your pet snared
and keeping the mobs aggro on you as your
pet attacks from behind. The most popular
3 spells for keeping aggro is flame lick,
snare and any nuke spell with a stun componenet.
It is essential wherever you are aggro kiting
that there are no wandering mobs that may
aggro on you or your pet while you are kiting.
If this happens it oftentimes results in you
having to flee or die.
