Default Red Mage: Preventing Pet Poof?

On red magicians pets are often quick to lose their most valuable asset, their pet, when confronting Bards or Enchanters via pet charming where if a player charms your pet, it instantly dies. Likewise, mage pets are easily rooted, feared, or otherwise rendered useless. In this thread I would like to pick the brains of more experienced mages, from both red and blue, as to ways one would enhance their pet's resilience to charming and being CCed.

I have a few ideas I have not yet tested myself, if anyone could answer or provide some insight to the following, as well as add their own input, I would greatly appreciate it!

Vial of Vampire Blood from Mistmoore, http://wiki.project1999.com/Vial_of_Vampire_Blood

Is this usable on ones pet or is it self only? I figure this (40-50 MR?) and x2 Dagger of Symbols would be a start.

Can one hand cheap MR gear to pets? What slots can pets wear? Some ideas for cheaply farmable gear for Pet PVP..

Thanks!

Pets can wear anything. But they will only equip one ring and one earring. Remember you will never get that stuff back.
One start for the root problem is keep your pets first buff slot open so that when root lands you can dispell it. Your summoned Insta click to dispell is great for this.
All potions are self only.
I have no info on the charming problem tho. And I believe that for the fear problem you are just boned.

Mage isnt a very good pvp class. I would quit while you're ahead to be honest. If you want a good farming class roll enchanter or necro. If you want a bit of a challenge with high reward go enchanter.

Enchanter is pretty weak until you hit around 30, but after that they go beast mode. Also it takes like 2k to max cha, from there you will just need to save for a resist set and +hp gear.

You can pumice roots and fear. Other then that. Long casting time nukes, no cc makes not a very good pvp character.

Maybe ask somebody that has a resist magic buff to do it on your pet? I know that's relying on others, but maybe your best bet.

getting some trash buffs and then an MR on pet helps a lot, giving them gear works also but is usually not worth it, excluding summoned stuff, the daggers look solid

sow helps pets a lot also

i estimate a pet would need 80+ MR to resist charm in pvp, it should be ok with daggers & MR buff

on live at some point they changed pets to have their owners resists, that was a decent fix
