- Unless you use only demons you are going to have scenarios where you get lower tiered servitors then you wanted when you conjured. Learn to develop sets of tactics to use these guys effectively. This will cut out a lot of 'dead time' for you.

- On a similar note its not always best to try for the highest tier servitor (especiall with devils or when you are cross align conjuring). The lower tier servitors are... less moody and easier to control.

- Clair spells are not limited to targets in your pk range.

- USE EVERYTHING, actively try and use your fringe spells like sighttheft and elem commands. Make it your goal to use every one towards a PK. I am amazed by how little incinerate is used as a finisher (it can cause immolation), blasting away boats to make no flee situations with capsize, using hurricane to bounce victims into traps, etc

- Dismiss isn't your only option when dealing with servitors that have turned on you. Got a pissed off devil? Call an angel and let them duke it out. This might give you enough breathing room to drop a fresh circle or get some mana regened.


- Don't assume an archon is the best servitor for mob killing/exploring. It might be the safest/easiest but other servitors can be great options too (even if you need to tank). This is especially true of a lot of the really high end mobs that have swing and can nuke an elemental easily.


- Its ok to chill without servitors if you don't have anything to do with them at the moment. Remember they are always getting mad by default unless you are actively doing things to make them happy.

To expand on neps post about keeping servitors happy for devil/archon you want to engineer situations where you have long duration fights with little fleeing (for the devil you want them to also not involve you getting hurt much and for the archon you do want to get hurt). For demon and angel its more about getting a larger volume of corpses at their feet then the quality of them.
