Doesn't summon pet blur the pet but not you? I had a blast in HoT killing stuff using the fire pet and kind of ping pong kiting. Not so fun when pulling named by accident and it summoned me after summon companion. Well, it was lower house named so not much risk even without a merc. :) Just curious, do mobs summon in VoA?

summon does not blur the pet, it just summons it. drape of shadows will only work if the pet is near you so thats why casting summon pet, greatly increases the effectivenesss of drape actually working.

Lucy database would disagree with you on this. Summon Companion

From what I see of the different levels, chance to pet fade on summon is 60%, 75% and 97% for levels 2, 3 and 4 of Summon Companion respectively.

Thats fine. I consider myself corrected!

The hotkey detailed posted results in a much better chance to remove all aggro from both the mage and the pet.

i use a similar hotkey. when the fade on summon companion fails, then i can't summon him and he's usually too far away for drape to fade. the failure message says something like, you cannot summon your companion because it is the focus of something's attention.

Aye I have been doing alot of pulling wiht my malo aa and then pressing that special pet drape hotkey to split. As long as I have a pet, it works great.

One point that irks me is, that we need the blur most when the pet is down. And at that point it does not work at all.

Well now that almost every clicky in the game will be clickable from bags, i.e. next patch, we could modify our drap hotkey to include a macro that triggers a fast casting summon pet clicky if we can find one that has a cast time of like 3 seconds or less. with max quick summoning aa's could make it 1.5 secs or less. If you press the hotkey with a pet already up, the clicky will just fail but if your pet had died, a new pet would be summoned and drape could work.

The hotkey above is not working for me and I can't figure out why.

The summon (1215) and invis (3812) are casting but not the drape (8341).

I'm getting a message that says "you say: pause 10./alt activate 8341"

Thanks
