Pet Placement....

[giantslayer]

When Garuda EX places that big tornado in the middle of the field, it does knockback. If Eos tries to return, she is committing suicide.

In general, though, I agree it would be nice for other fights.

I think I understand where you guys are coming from but regardless of being an amazing scholar or not placing pets for at least most of the fight will be better for the sch/smn just for the fact that the pet will execute the command whenever given and I do use macros for embrace! Having the pet on follow will always delay the cast which sometimes it saves players (dps/tanks) from being dead. If we're talking about being a good scholar then it shouldn't be hard for a good scholar to pick a good position for the fairy to be statically healing from or for it to equally distribute buffs, this way i can be in 2 places at once as a scholar to heal the entire party while not being much mobile, especially solo heals! I tried Titan ex 4-man for the hell of it and whenever the fairy got landslided it would just be isolated while i'm trapped in a goal and the tank is close to dying with it -the fairy- not doing a single cast because its too far!! Also the time I would invest moving my pet in, i would rather dps or heal due to me being a controller user and having to switch hotbars/crossbars, believe me it makes a lot of difference that i've seen it cause wipes on challenging content

If most of you enjoy placing a pet consistently they should make it an option to stick a fairy/garuda/ifrit during a fight to max heals/dps at least..

Outside from the weird oddity that Garuda EX tornados do not affect pets at all, while HM version does.

Outside of Ifrit it's hardly an annoyance though hitting place once a minute.

Whoops. To be honest, after doing HM, I decided place was a bad idea for Garuda in general. I remember being dead very shortly after getting hit by the one in EX and didn't pay attention to my faerie. I just assumed it affected her as the HM stuff did. Garuda also has one where she does a whirlwind on the outside that knocks you inward. I think that affects the faerie, but if you are placing her, you probably want the center so that wouldn't be an issue.
