My lvl 16 conjurorFollow

I have two conjurers, both in the upper 40's on Kithichor. Gear really doesn't start to play a roll until you get to mid to late 20's, early 30's. At that point you can really tell the difference with encounters if say all your spells are adept I, III or Master and you have better than average gear. Save those rares and try to get yourself a master crafted suit of armor in at 30. Your most important solo item is your pet. Get your self at least adept I of your warrior and mage pet. Try to get Adept III or master if you can. Makes a huge difference.
