They're simple, but effective, thats all i can say about it. Gonna go have a test, see how they work with heros and for farming purposes.

Pet Controls are nice. I'm not trying to complain but I was expecting something more. These ones work but seem very very simple.

I probably know why you can't flag pets.
What you could do is get 8 beastmasters and have them stand back and keep healing and rezzing their pets till the mob is dead without putting themselves in danger. |

Yeah flagging pets would be way overpowered. Would completely unbalance PvP too. Imagine having lots with there pets flagged in an enemy base just laying into the Guild Lord. 5x Enraged Lunge can do alot of damage and when you don't suffer skill deactivation if they're killed again quickly...
As far as i see it this is almost perfect. Anything more complex and you'd have bugs or things screwing up. These are simple, work well and basically do exactly what you want. They can lock onto a target, change a target and stop attacking whenever you want. Anything extra would've been a bonus. Tbh having a small picture of your pet is the bonus ^^ The Stalker looks oddly cute  PS. Never thought i'd be using Otyughs Cry without messing around. Be better once its fixed though. |

Apparently, I must make a retraction. The original post had just a hint of sarcasm in it, which caused people to flame this guys thread. Read the whole post before posting.
PS. Barrage has it's purpose in some PVE builds, try searching this section to find out a little more. Some of the builds are very decent. Last edited by DestinedToFall; Apr 06, 2007 at 07:32 AM // 07:32.. |

Simple yes. Effective yes. Needed yes. Flagging a pet makes no sense. If you think about flagging, its a tactical command. To apply a bit of realism, you can tell a hero or a henchman to "go and stand over there," not so much with a Flamingo. :P

But maybe I'm doing it wrong, here is the way it works for me. I click on a target and tell my pet to attack it... then I choose a different target and attack. After I start attacking my pet will start to attack his specified target... However, the monster my pet is attacking ignores my pet and attacks me. So now I hold aggro for my target and my pets target. The damage my pet and I usually deal together, is now divided among two targets. After a few plays of this same scenario, I decided to leave my pet in guard mode so he defaults to the same target I'm attacking. I still strongly believe, when I press attack on the pet tool bar the pet should rush in and attack the target without me attacking first (like it was before they changed it). The heel function holds it's own however. I am very happy to be able to pull now without my pet rushing in. I don't know... maybe I'm just bitter. |

If you think barrage is the only thing a ranger is good for...then you've been playing the game all wrong. As for the pet controls simple and effective. Been waiting for them for a while now

Pet controls are great. Now, if only they would fix Keen Arrow and buff Power Shot and Point Blank Shot...

Pets are good fun, carry them on all my chars. My BeastMaster is good fun to play.
One thing though, is the warthog doesn't look too good in the window. Croc and Bear do tho |

@destined, nobody is talking about barrage here, drop it and save yourself more inevitable flames for spouting nonsense and wasting threadspace.
I played around with the new controls last night. They are indeed simple and yet extremely effective. All you guys who're worried about splitting the damage over 2 opponents, it will come just like learning how to pull with a pet using the old 'fuzzy logic'. We got new toys and it will take a little time to learn how to most effectively use them. Any second now, folks in arenas will be taking pets more seriously .

People in RA are stupid...I killed one touch ranger with my pet while he was attacking me. *So he saw me using pet skills* He was then ressed and threw Throw Dirt on ME and my pet killed him again.
On the other hand...I've been talking to some Rangers in game and they think Enraged Lunge is going to get nerfed. Your thoughts? |
