I've spent a lot of time, and deaths, trying to figure out how to solo the current version of Ayillish. Most of the pettable mobs in the zone get absolutely wrecked by Ayillish, even when slowed. The only pet I've found that can keep up with Ayillish is a level 53 cragwyrm. The problem there is the cragwyrm is unstunnable, unmezzable, and can't be recharmed with wand or strings, so one charm break means death. The fight also takes forever - my best attempt using a cragwyrm took over 6 minutes before charm broke and I was toast, and Ayillish was only at 30%.
I never considered using gnomes as pets, though. I'll have to give that a try.
Use a bracer of the the hidden to refresh a junk buff on your pet every time the AE dispel goes off to prevent your charm from getting dispelled. Also, blanket of forgetfulness has a higher chance to blur (and uses less mana) than memory flux on P99 because BoF applies two blur charges whereas memory flux only applies one.
