Quote:The only time I need to use mend pet is when grinding elites, and the tougher pet (they scale some with gear) woud change that a lot as well.To be honest, most of my opinions on things comes from all the time I spent grinding silithus bugs. So my use of mend pet is mostly based off of grinding those elites. Even in normal leveling gear one doesn't really use mend pet too much except for when fighting elites, multiple adds, or when doing things they shouldn't be doing (soloing instances and such heh).
I'm also figuring that the addition of steady shot and the improvement of arcane shot will make more draws on mana which will make having Aspect of the Viper up all the time even better. As you say though, gear does effect this alot. Better gear means more mana and mana regen and so less dependence on Aspect of the Viper. I'm still wagering that it will be the most used though. : )
