Its not the same.

Macros used:
Pet Action Place Macro

Sacred Soil Macro
http://i65.tinypic.com/33fgaab.jpg

Video of test:
Pet Action "Place" Bugged While Targeting 14 seconds in shows the bug.

Selene will run to you, when you activate it for some reason, but thats it.

Patch notes:

[2.0] Ground targeted skills can now be placed under a selected target using text commands.

/petaction Place <me>
/echo Tells Pet to place itself on top of you.

/petaction Place <f>
/echo Tell pet to place itself on top of focus target.

/petaction Place <t>
/echo Tell pet to place itself on top of target.

/petaction Place
/echo *BUG* If no target is selected, ground target is used to place pet. Otherwise it will place itself on top of target.

I really dont like this, but thanks for clarifying. Wish we could turn it off. :C

Actually it has to be bugged. Look at the video. Even though I'm targeting myself sacred soil doesn't just activate and yet PLACE does. Same with shadowflare. If <t> it will place automatically, if nothing a place marker should appear.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Also please note that this also affects the machinist's turrets in some way. Before 3.2 the macro below would allow me to place a turret as normal, and pressing the same button would retrieve it.

Quote:

---

/ac "Rook Turret" <me>
/ac "Turret Retrieval" <me>

---

As of 3.2 all it does is place the turret directly one me and it doesn't even read the next line in the macro so I cannot retrieve it.

EDIT: I figured out i just needed to remove the <me> from the Rook Turret line and it works perfectly /facepalm

Try it without <me>. By saying <me> you want the skill to go off on yourself.

/ac "Rook Turret"
/ac "Turret Retrieval"

Also if it doesn't work like you want, I would say do it in the reverse order.

/ac "Turret Retrieval"
/ac "Rook Turret"

This will return the turret, then pressing it again would place it. If there isn't a turret to retrieve, it will try to place one.

My guess is that you won't have an issue and that this bug only affects pet actions (/pac instead of /ac.) Hope this helps and that they fix this soon.

Seems they will.

Seems fixed as far as I can tell. Thank you devs! :)

Yep! Guess who no longer dies inside because Selene got cleaved trying to place her? This guy :D
