Soloing is very hard at you lvl. If you do, root right away, stand back and
hope you have enough mana kill it. Never solo anything higher than blue, or
else it will be instant death. In a group, stand way back, as far as you
can and still be in range to cast spells, this limits the creatures desire
to stop attacking the tanks and go after you. Also, be patient, let the
tanks do the work. You have the potential to make battles go much much
faster by throwing everything you have at the creature, but in doing so you
do more dmg than the tanks and make the creature attack you. When a fight
starts, stand back, let the tanks get some hits in, then throw a spell or
two at the creature then wait so more. When the creature is close enough
that you can kill it with a spell, cast it, and kill it. Doing this should
keep the creatures attention focussed on the tanks and not you. But make
sure you always watch the health meters of your tanks, if someone looks like
they may be in trouble let loose and nuke. Also try and finish a battle
before the tanks have lost too much health, otherwise you will have to wait
an infuriatingly long time for them to regen hp's. (This isn't as bad if
there is a cleric in the party) That's basically all you can, get used to
it.. when you hit 12th and your spells get more powerful the creatures will
turn your way even quicker. Btw: do you have a full set of armour yet? If
not go out and buy whatever you don't have right now. Even crappy cloth
armour makes an amazing difference when it comes to keeping you alive.
Well, that's all the advise I can offer, hope it helps.
