Mages get two forms of Pet Discipline:
Pet Discipline: 1 rank, gives "/pet hold" command
Advanced Pet Discipline: 2 ranks, first gives "/pet focus" command and second gives "/pet no cast" command.
"/pet hold" works fine. "/pet focus" (and i'm assuming "/pet no cast" as well) however do not work at all. I only have 1 rank of APD purchased atm but the focus command is supposed to be the first rank of APD unless it was switched around for the Emu and i don't know about it lol. So "/pet focus" should be making my pet stick to whatever i have targeted when i click the hotbutton until i pull him back or the mob dies. Sadly that is not the case. Even on raids this command would have been valuable. Specifically during the High Priest raid yesterday a slight pull slip up grabbed 4 of his guards AND HP himself. Since HP is permarooted it wasn't much of an issue but he was casting his AE stun which kept him at the top of my pet's hate list. Because of this everytime i would take my pet off hold and send him into a trash mob he would run forward then do an immediate U-turn and head towards HP and try to solo it lol. Needless to say "/pet focus" would have been a nice tool there but since it didn't work i had to resort to keeping my pet on hold and not using him until we engaged HP himself. As a pet class that's about 50% of my dps right there. Granted we had people like Nigrog so we really didn't need it but still
It's more useful in soloing to get my pet to stay on one mob and burn it down or to come back and take an add off me rather than jumping around between mobs.If this could be looked into i would be very grateful. I need this command more than most non-mages can realize XD
Edit: there is actually one thing i wanted to bring up as well that i found weird and might as well not make a second thread about it lol
I found it odd that our 1.5 pet (listed here) and our 2.0 pet (listed here) don't cast any spells like our standard pets do. Is it possible to outfit both of them with our 66 air pet's spell (Air Elemental Strike which is a DD for 80 dmg and stun for 3 seconds. Listed Here) or would that be too over powered? =/
