Why not give it a practical use that will make pet builds more viable? Perhaps we could rename it to "Animal Ally" or somesuch. I have suggested this before, but not in its own thread. I know many people have suggested a whole new pet window to issue commands, but I really don't see that happening, as GUIs are a pain to impliment, whereas this requires much less work. I think it's a winner.  |
/signed a million times over, and I will keep signing these until Anet helps the beastmasters out and make the required skill, "charmed animal" actually useful for having out instead of taking up a space inorder to use our "weapon of choice."
I like this the best of all the suggestions so far. It is pure platinum to be able to control a pet and direct it to where it needs to go quickly.

As a long-time BeastMaster, I say /signed also. Pet's do ridiculously high damage however, so some skills (Enraged Lunge. 100+ damage every 5 seconds) may unfortunately get nerfed (fingers crossed this doesn't happen
). There are also murmurings that Anet are working on pet controls. Hope so...
again, /signed.
EDIT: I'd also like Anet to fix the friggin' annoying bug involving pet's in Alliance Battles. If my wolf chases someone down but doesn't break before they get to their base, he get's killed off by the base defences. Fair enough. However he then becomes impossible to ressurect without dying myself, as he dies instantly from the base defences upon ressurection. Having to die to res your pet kinda' defeats the whole object of AB in the first place...
Wee! My idea got bumped. Thanks Geer. If I had bumped it myself I'd be such a tool.
frojack, interesting point. Perhaps they should put in a pet teleport in the future. Heck, why not work it into a pet res at the same time? After all, a beastmaster is nothing without his pet, and to have your entire build so easily crippled like that just sucks.

Rebirth for pets, that would be nice. Make it a seperate skill as opposed to the original res. just stick it later in the game so you have to work for it.

If it isnt overly intelligent (such as charr/gargoyles etc) then is should be tameable. Certain devourers, drakes, players would make fun pets.

That is a very good point Dante, but it is pretty obvious that this idea is not an energy cost skill, but a control tool for the pet. It shouldn't cost anything to command your pet, charm animal does cost 10 energy, but that isn't what we expect or want with this utility.
Even if Charm Animal isn't used for pet control, some other button or tab should be added for it. This can also apply to henchmen, with the growing use and dependancy on henchmen I think it is important to have some simple command functions. Perhaps a small button beside each Non-player character in your party list could be added to the party list to execute simple advance on target, target same, and retreat functions to henchmen as well as pets. They could even add new hotkeys to command all units to exercise any of the 3 actions as well.
Advance would send the unit to begin and continue attacking a particular target, Target Same would command the unit to switch and attack whichever unit you are attacking, and retreat is pretty obvious, but it would command the units to retreat to your location and follow, only attacking if you remain immobile.

With the new henchmen, hero system, where you can send your henchmen out using the compas, they should add your pet to the compas, and maby a pet menu, like the hero menu exept without skills? or maby with the pet attack skills? like if its in ur skill slot, and its beast mastery, its also in ur pet menu?
