Just found an interesting oddity.
I actually didn't have a bad pet day, when you zone, the pet is re-focused. I usually switch between powerfull filk slippers and Frozen glyphwielder boots to summon, so once I have summoned, I'm down to the aug of true order on my epic.
Did some tests with Zalux right now, zoned with aug of true order (20% focus from memory), lvl 76 pet. Zone with ToV boots, lvl 78. Zone with 0 pet focus, lvl 74 (matching unfocused stats).
This should maybe be moved away from the poll and to the feedback section I guess.
