Fluffy keeps auras permanently if you suspend him and the aura is on him at the time, then disband before repopping back out.
So, if you solo a lot, get some of the best buffs in the game(and that will last until pet dies or you group with someone running that aura) for your pet, ask clerics/bards/and OMG monks to group with ya a second with their auras on, suspend pet while grouped with em, and pop back out later after disbanding. Monk aura of pet not taking enrage damage and all else it provides... is very nice
Also, give fluffy a 4500hp buff anytime... cast the level 9 summoned nuke on him and the theft of essence AA can trigger, and give him a 4500hp buff for like 3 min.

It probably would on pet but the heal is a proc, not a dot. So, no heals unless it procs again. But when it does, it'll just overwrite the perma buff you just made. So, meh.
I thought it had been posted too many places at this point to make a difference, but if it makes you feel better, I have edited my post. I did also /bug it as soon as I discovered it, and that was probably 8 months ago, so if they haven't done anything about it by now I doubt they're too concerned about it.

Neat. Never thought of the 4500 HP deal. Very cool. Just a note on auras. I don't know about the other ones since I haven't played with that "trick" but the Mage aura (RS) is an invisible NPC. When you suspend or zone that invisible NPC dies. So the buff icon is still there but the aura is no longer affecting the pet and you must re-cast the aura for it to actually have an effect. You can test this by observing the max hit of your servant.
