Having said that even in the high 30's and low 40's dungeons pet management is a nightmare. Not because it makes anything difficult per se...It just add's a ton of BS that you have to deal with since the stances come off upon using a pet action. OBEY and SIC are pointless. You hit embrace and next thing you know all of your pets CD's are blown. It's a bit ridiculous.
I don't have this problem. If I use obey, it only uses its basic attack or cure until I tell it to do something.
