Does this meen if I have call of protection on, and then I command my pet too make an attack, it looses call of protection?

Please can someone explain this new pet attack system in more detail.

Thanks.

Regards, Ashleigh.

well since it work like shout... one can have "i will survive" "watch yourself" on at the same time... so... I guess they would stay.

But I doubt attack shout stack thou... I mean heck if I were the dev I wouldnt let it stack.

So any further info on this? What exactly was the change? I haven't noticed anything from the few experiences I've had.

I would assume that the pet will only do what you command if you are within shouting distance of it.

I haven't tested this but the semantics of the update suggest so.

it means that you can use a pet attack without interrupting your current action. you can be in the middle of casting a spell, for example, and use a pet attack without interrupting the cast.

The REAL key here is that to do a pet attack previously you had to stop whatever it was you're doing.

WHATEVER IT WAS

and yes, it includes walking [YES, FREAKIN' STUPID MORON HAS TO STOP MOVING FOR PET TO ATTACK] and attacking.

If in mid attack u do a pet attack, your character USED to stop attacking for a whole second. Deadly to your own dps...
