on another note, someone earlier mentioned possibly using CoD and DDD
instead of fast weapons, to avoid the damage shield. if these kill him,
since theyare a DoT, the mage will lose exp as well. however if you are
over level 26 feel free to just fear the pet away. that is what i did when
i dueled a level 46 magician. bad thing is, you can not cast fear anymore
with a PC targetted. found that out (even though i know it was on the list,
i just forgot) when dueling a paladin couple nights ago. my question is,
since our fear is AE can you still fear a PC if you sing it near him and
just do not have him targetted?
