If you’re like me and have F1 binded to something like R for convenience (with classes like the thief, warrior, or necromancer) then it is really annoying when switching to a ranger and having my most used profession ability on F2 all of a sudden. I hardly ever use ‘Attack my target’ or ‘Return to me’ which seem only useful in very specific situations. I use my pet’s F2 ability almost every time I fight anything as another utility skill. I really think the pet’s ability should be on F1. It’s a small issue but it’s extremely annoying for players like me. It won’t be a problem if character specific keybinding are on the way, however.

I think it was a logical flow:

1 – go out
2 – do special trick
3 – come back
4 – swap with the other pet

How do you take the time and make a post about this.
Just keybind everything like the rest of us.

I don’t have a single key left from the default except some movement.
If you took the time to change it it would be quicker then posting and waiting for Anet to change it for you..

It’s just a small recommendation. I know it’s not big deal/a priority and I do continue to play and change the keybind anyway. I just swap between character frequently and it’s something odd I noticed.

It is a little strange, I agree. And it’s also somewhat annoying, since you can’t save keybindings for specific characters. Which means that you basically have to change your keybindings around every time you play something else than your ranger.

It’s a small thing, but surely something that could be improved.

I think we should have the ability to move around skills for our pet bar, so each person can have what they want. I personally want callback on f1, attack on f3 and special on f2, but I don’t want to rebind my other classes to f3.

Now that is a good idea!
