It is in the ability. The Luopan takes up the pet slot. As such, it can be scripted just like any pet. You can already send commands to dismiss it, to make it last longer or burn brighter. Moving it requires recasting right now, and that's an expensive move, MP-wise. Stack that onto every spell being one that requires you to go into AoE range and risk death repeatedly... The job has been wedged in. It's role was already taken by SCH. It needs a new one that is slightly better than it's current, something to make it valuable to an alliance.
