I usually play tanks, but resently I've been playing some mage characters and I've noticed that at certain points there skills (ministration, subjugation, etc.) start to fall behind and aren;t raising easily. I spent quite some time with my conjuror summoning pet after pet to max of his subjugation along with other skills.
I'm now trying out a coercer and I'm at the same crossroad.
Is it even worth the effort to raise ordination or ministration with a coercer or conjuror? I recall in EQ1 that certain spells required a certain skill level to use and I'm wondering if that is the case in EQ2 at higher lvls. Since most ordination spells last until you die or cancel them there is no way to raise the skill unless you make an intentional effort.
The ordination and ministration spells I have aren't the kind that have a range(i.e. 10-15 dmg), but are simply such-and-such will heal pet for this amount or will cure this ailment, etc. etc.
Also, is there a site that has information on macro commands? If I'm gonna raise these skills I might as well make a loop that keeps casting if that's possible. I'm not looking forward to sitting around mashing a hotkey all day.
