Honestly one of the biggest issues I am having with an otherwise beloved class is being unable to direct your pet while casting. Even not being a scholar yet, I find it causing issues in my arcanist solo play when I cannot tell topaz to go tank something, less of a deal in party play.

I have been super excited about becoming a scholar, but now I am hoping they fix some of these issues soon before I get there and have to deal with them too >.>
