Ok, it has been said often but since the new patch brought also a dungeon where this catches the eye I want to address this quick.

Please consider a “pet go there” (with a marker) button for our pets.

I really like the new dungeon and it is possible to manage your pets inside, but the last boss is a good example for “I need the tanky pet since theres too much aoe and too less control for it”. You can avoid the shockwaves with bows and move your pet between the boss and yourself and also switch them. But still the tanky pet is a no brainer and the cat can die in seconds if you have bad luck with the aoe.

Yes you can do the dungeon and find a pet that survives. My point is that it could be real fun to pull the hard hitting pet back and forth while avoiding all the stuff on the ground and all while dodging, damaging, rezzing etc. All we need is this button.

And since some of us know it from wow I don’t think it causes too much of a problem in gameplay or am I missing something.

If this is on the list and I missed it sorry, move along

TL;DR

Heavy need for a “move pet button”;
Sorry for repeating it, but it would increase fun imo.

with the current state of pet command responsivenes/AI one of the following will happen even if you have the above mentioned button…

a- by the time he understands what you asked him to do and starts to execute he will already be dead…

b- if for some divine intervention he s not dead yet he will most probably take the most complex path from point a to point b and die in the process…

i am not saying its a bad idea, i like it… but pet AI and command/execute delay should be improved before what you say happens…

What we need for pets (and minions) is the flag system from GW1. (Also a way to force F1/F2/F3 response to be instant, along with following flags.)
