1. When charming at my level (18-20), I am running into issues trying to time the casting of IVA. It seems that about half the time my pet will go from 15% to dead before I can get the spell off. This is using blue con mobs. I am sure it is a matter of practice, but does anyone have any tips for timing the charm break? Also, does this get easier to time at higher levels when mobs have more HP? Casting too soon creates issues and casting too late results in lost XP. I always try hide first, but it is not reliable. This has been a tricky thing for me to get the hang of honestly.
2. Related to #1, what is the best way to macro the IVA cast? I tried to create a macro that targets self and then cast the spell, but it is not reliable. I may need to insert a wait steps between the target self and the cast. Also, do most of you add two cast steps to help account for fizzles? Or do you not bother macroing it at all?
3. When Charming, do you always cast snare on your charm target before you charm? I have been skipping that step but it causes me to take a few hits when charm breaks. I am concerned that this may be a big problem at higher level. Also, it seems the duration of snare is such that it wears off before charm does about half the time. Looking forward to Ensnare!

Never played a druid but I've done a lot of charming on my ench.
1. It will become much easier to time your invis once mobs have more HP. If you plan to charm a lot at higher levels, it would be worth saving up for a

2. I will typically just hit f1 to target myself and then cast invis. Not complicated enough to bother with a macro, IMO.
3. I don't have snare as an ench, but I can see that being incredibly useful. I would get in the habit of doing it if I were you. Seems like it could save a lot of headaches once you get to higher level content.
