Pet control

MakoFore

Now that 3 of the 5 classes have pets can we have some control over them please!!
my bear is a *** idiot. he runs around , back and forth like an idiot.

we need better control to make them viable- and at least fun and challenging to use- set them to
attack an area- like an aoe- endless hail right click- block - then press the pet button
stay still - interrupt + pet button
attack a certain enemy - double tap and aim
follow our attacks. - so perhaps holding down the pet button

and if we want to turn it off- then let us turn it off- and have it in stupid mode as it is now


imagine being able to use our bear as a diversion- running it into a keep, while we flank from the other side. or having them lock down a portal in vMA or in trials have them set off as a sort of off tank, but having actual control over our sorc pets- or our nightblade shadow and our warden bear- would be freaking awesome and challenging.
what say you ZOS?

make them cool- make them interesting - make them smart- i imagine pets to be like dragons and wolves in Game of thrones, true sidekicks that fight by our side- not dumb pets as they are now.

also: for wardens!

allow us to mount our bear if we have it slotted- how [snip] cool would it be to ride into battle, atop your mighty noble bear, jump off- and have it fight with you, then after battle hop onto its back and ridde off!?!?

all the animations and work is done- we have the bear mount already- just combine the two animations. its stupid to have a bear mount- that appears and disappears- and then a bear that fights by your side that appears and disappears.

THEY SHOULD BE THE SAME BEAR!!

actually there's a pet controll in the game, at least for sorc pets. Im not sure about warden bear, but should also work since the "controls" are already in the game.

Check your keybindings and you should find something about petcontrol.

Y+right click - call your pet to you
Y+left click - demand that your pet destroys the target

When you call your pet back it becomes immortal.

What is really needed is an unstuck button for pets, because they sometimes can't comeback or get stuck in textures and while in combat I am not always able to un-summon pet and re-summon it... Very annoying.

You are welcome.

that works for warden bear as well? i know the pet sorcs have some crontrol - but i dlike some more detailed control, especially the ability to lock down an aera.

Y and heavy attack are your current pet controls. Your pets should attack whatever target you are heavy attacking. So if your pets are running around wildly, is it because you are heavy attacking different targets? I solo group dungeons on my pet build mag sorc, and I notice my pets running wildly when I'm heavy attacking different adds for sustain and lightning splash damage.

Are we not talking about PC? I don't see a platform listed. Nevertheless, I'm curious, do the other platforms have an option for pet control in their settings like PC does or does it not work automatically off of the heavy attack. PC works off of heavy attack if you don't select a target with Y.

What if you had a pet Hodor though?

All platforms can use Heavy attack to target.

But PC have specific options
