Smn needs a follow or stay command

[Cabalabob]

Smn needs a command to make it's avatar follow someone else in the party or at least a smn version of stay. With avatars favour there are times when you don't want your avatar to be attacking a monster(tp feed or because it has a special ability that makes it absorb physical damage), but at the same time
Due to the small range of avatars favour aura you want your avatar to stay in close combat to give the effect to the party.

And have you ever been in a situation where you'll have your avatar attack something then want your avatar to pull it back and it starts casting an AoE nuke? You try to run away only to have your avatar chase after you with a huge impending explosion about to hit it...

as a smn you do not want to be standing close to the monster yourself due to AoE damage or have your avatar following you with an AoE attack aimed on it. In these situations a follow command would be helpful so your avatar could follow someone else who is staying close to the monster to keep favour in the right place and a stay command would be helpful to stop your avatar attempting to take you down with it.

^ this so much

how about a trade off in a sense? How about a protect command, makes the avatar act for them like they do for us, so if that player get agro the avatar will protect them and return once the fight has ended?

This is a great Idea!

I asked about this once and they said they had no plans for anything of the sort. I know I've had times in the past where I wanted to favor a tank without engaging my avatar on the enemy to avoid TP feed or favor the back line without having my avatar run off after an add that happened to target me. I'm not sure why they feel this would be such a terrible thing to give us, but soon they'll have the excuse that such an ability might step on the toes of Geomancers and Rune Fencers who can lay down "field buffs" which is essentially what a parked avatar would be. This would be awesome to have, and you have my Like and support, but I don't think this is a bone they're going to throw us.
