I recently purchased all 3 ranks of Animation Empathy in the enchanter AA tree expecting some better control over the pet, if a mob taps my chanter and my chanter mezzes the mob the pet just keeps going to town. A little added DPS from sending it into fights is also appealing from time to time.
The AA is supposed to give added controls for the pet, other than "Leave" but after purchasing all 3 ranks I have no additional commands. I have logged out/in, restarted the client, resummoned the pet... all fruitlessly.
The AA description:
"Progressive ranks of this ability grant you finer control over your animations. At its initial level, you are allowed to give your animations Guard and Follow commands. At the second rank, Attack and Go Away commands. At the final rank,back off, Taunt, and Sit commands. You gain the ability to train an additional rank at levels 61, 63, and 65."
The basic pet is of little use in its base form but in a multi-box situation, having a little extra time to recognize your character is being attacked and being able to react to it... exery extra second counts so I'd really like to use it.
As always, thanks in advance.
