Pet movement could be improved
Currently it can be a little frustrating when using Heel to make your pet follow you around. I feel like this should be more of a "stance", similar to Obey/Sic and whatever that other thing you can toggle is.
It's understood that for Ifrit/Titan, they can only follow you OR attack, since they need to be in melee range. But for Garuda/Eos/Selene, presumably you will continue to want them to follow you around if you decide to make them follow you? Certainly it's kind of annoying in Shiva EX to first 1) remember to run yourself behind and Shiva and 2) also remember to ask your pet to politely come along as well, preferably quickly enough to where they don't die. Probably Heel is your best bet here, as while Place would be more optimal, well, you're running to the correct spot yourself. I'm sure some folks can move and Place at the same time very quickly, but probably many can't.
Anyway, maybe something like Heel/Stay/and... something else that lets them move around more freely? And setting Ifrit/Titan to attack automatically triggers that "Free" range of movement?
Honestly, this is also just another way in which SMN is unduly punished. The skill necessary to play the role, and the number of things that weigh you down and can go abysmally wrong are in no way compensated by your dps. It's one thing to micro-manage everything, it's another to be outclassed by other dps roles who have less to worry about, assuming similar skill/gear.
