The nerf's to pet's 4 times over 6 months or so have been ridiculous really, not as intended, with that said, here's your self fix when soloing.
1. Engage your mob like normal, /pet attack with swords/daggers and burnout whatever buffed.
2. Nuke the mob with a low lvl nuke if u can handle the mob easily, like before.
3. Dismiss ur pet using focus item to regain most your mana back when the mob is at 1-2% health left, so all the dmg done to the mob is from the caster only and the pet hate list is gone.
4. Low lvl nuke once more, mob dead.
5. Recast pet with mana u regained from dismissing w/ focus item.
The only pain in the ass is having a bag full of summoned weapons / haste masks, but u save tons of mana not having to nuke for 50% and compete with your pet.
BTW on pet nerfs, i'm not sure how to put this in a adult manner without being disrespectful, STOP ALREADY! the aggro nerf and dmg nerf and previous ( Sept 2010 ) nerf because said fire pets where supposedly overpowered are conflicting now.
A little comparison to overpowered would be last week, ( week ending 11/6 ) a enchanter not to be named SOLO'D disc and NG in Sebilis and held those camps for quite awhile, ridiculous. A few months ago Monk were soloing the entire jail camp in Karnor's while camping for a T-staff, talk about overpowered.
/pet envy is all over this mofo, thats for sure.
