On PC, binding this to my controller doesn't seem to do anything. It would be nice if I could bind the pet attack toggle to Dpad-right and have it function.
I think this is one thing you can't do with a controller. The UI on the consoles does not have a provision for commanding a pet. Since the PC Controller UI is the same as the Console UI, you get this limitation.
I agree that Pets should have the control for all platforms/UI, even if it is just something you choose to bind instead of something else.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
