EDIT: also where is all this taunting echos talk coming from (directed at everyone in thread bringing it up), when I read the OP I saw it as leveling up, not 65 and grinding AAs, please correct me if I'm wrong!!!!
At what point does he say he is leveling up? He says he is a new mage and that is all... so yes, you are wrong. Soloing =/= leveling and any information is better than no information. As already stated by multiple other mages... earth pet + rains is inefficient until 65+ anyway (oh the irony!).
