  Thanks Flow, but I decided against a pet build after a couple of scrape and bruise.

  Yes, the broad advice for people thinking about pet builds is "don't".

  I've tried a healing/Pet build, so I could carry an arcane army with me, letting them do basically all the work while I just kept them alive, and swarm mobs with numbers like they love to do, I got to level...14 I think, before scrapping it because it was kind of impractical and a REAL pain to do any kind of early leveling alone. Mind you, this is after maybe 7 wipes against Frank Zaretti and finally completing that mission. So yeah, some things just DON'T work as well as you hope.

  Yeah having a large pet array when low level means you'll likely have too many energy penalties stacking up, and w/ low level stats that can be crippling to overall performance.

  how can you even have a large pet array at low level. As far as I can tell level 14 is where you could get like a second summon at earliest

  Going early and heavy on Sorcery makes it possible, though you'll have to retrain at the first PH to get the Familiar early. Ex:
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Eldritch Bolts
  Level 1: Tyrannon's Familiar
  Level 6: Sigils of Destruction
  Level 8: Ritual of Radiant Summoning
  Level 11: Ritual of Primal Summoning
  Level 14: Ritual of Ebon Summoning
  Level 17:
  Level 20:
  Level 23:
  Level 26:
  Level 29:
  Level 32:
  Level 35:
  Level 38:
  Adv. Points: 0/36
  
  etc..
  
  Again, this not a recommended approach, though.
