So, I had to create a mesmer to finish hint 83/83 and realised that the mesmers clones or what you call them have a 10 times better AI than our pets. If I use F1-F4 they instantly stop attacking, run to my target and explode. Why can’t our pets get this kind of AI? Stop trating them as environmental creatures, ANet

Because when you press F2 as a ranger the server side need to check the state of what the pet is doing, depending of the skill the animation need to be stopped and after that the F2 will be triggered.
Mesmer clones only have 1 action and don’t need to make any decision since it can’t change target or execute multiple AI choices, so when you shatter all the server need to do is stop the state the clone have and start the shatter skill you picked.

Pets can’t attack and move… Mesmer clones are based on models that can.

I’d settle for a pet spider that could walk out of AoE
