I thought this was common practice.

Is it true or untrue about the ability to actually buff the pets and have it affect their ability to deliver damage?

Aye, my fault.

The FnF or literally any pet other than the controllable in either of the three spell lines.

Dex buffs MIGHT make them cast faster, but anything else likely has no effect, since acuity buffs don't affect any pets in the game and that's what will affect FnF damage.

Theurgs have an advantage here - since their pets (esp. earth ones) are melee, str/con buffs work GREAT for them.

I am pretty sure dex buffs do work for the shrooms.

Do mobs attack FnF turrents directly or are they seen purely as spells from the caster and all agro comes directly to the Ani?

mobs attack them .. the only way i have kept from getting agro is to toss a few AOE taunts out there off main pet and get agro on him then let the FnF turrest eat them up

After wondering about this myself and doing some heavy testing I can honestly say I don't know, but I did save some money by switching to Geico

cliine - AoE taunts???

The verd controllable only has a single-target taunt, and I don't see any other taunts in the ani's spec lines.
