Ok thought of a few more things:
1. If you are charm killing in an outdoor zone and are frustrated by roamers, remember you can move where you are fighting mid-fight by casting the cancel magic spell line on the mob you are killing to remove root. Then by mashing the /pet back off command you can now pull the mob you are killing and your pet out of the roamer’s path. Keep in mind that you might also end up removing the slow off the target though too if you used one
The other option is to be pro-active with mez and mez the roamer before it reaches your pet. You can then try calm on it to shrink its aggro radius to almost nothing, or just keep re-mezzing it until the fight is over. You can mez it after it engages your pet, but this means extra hassle of spamming pet back off after it kills its target and if the other mob is mezzed right next to it it could swipe it and break mez even if you are mashing back off. So I prefer to be pro-active with mez or calm or just move the rooted target
2. Making humanoid super-pets. Carry torches and give them a torch which goes to offhand and makes them dual wielding. Rusty or whatever 1handed weapons work too, the weapon damage and type (other than 1h) is irrelevant!
3. For enchanters playing on green server: congrats you picked enchanter hard mode. I added /pet report health to my /pet attack AND to my /pet back off macros to always have a good idea of pet’s health without having a pet window. Just spam your pet attack button while keeping its target selected (its already attacking so all this will do is tell you its health) or if there’s no target hit /pet back off to see its health whenever. You can always hit /pet attack to see your animation pet’s health since /pet attack can never make it attack
As an enchanter in groups on green server: clumps of mobs will be a problem without a functioning cycle tab target hotkey (which doesn’t function on green server). The group won’t care about how much harder it is to CC specific things without a cycle tab target hotkey on green, they‘ll just stand there dying staring at you to fix things. You have two options vs a clump of mobs all stacked on each other (really three considering aoe mez), try aiming for flailing tips of weapons or feet to pick a particular mob, or use the /tar command. Or keep shifting around the clump using tab to target the nearest thing. I personally have had the /tar command save my ass when trying to select specific things in a flailing clump of arms and legs
