Arcanist Pets need to have "Obey" as a TOGGLE, not a command.

I don't really mind it the way that it is now, but I wouldn't be opposed to it either, I suppose.

What I'd rather see is across-the-board pet "slots" for the hotkeys so you don't have to have all four Garuda keys and all four Ifrit keys keybound, just when you summon Garuda it shows hers and when you summon Ifrit it shows his.

To break it down, instead of keybinding Contagion, I would keybind "Pet Action #4" and then with Garuda out, that keybind becomes contagion, and with Ifrit out it becomes Flaming Crush, with all recasts reflected appropriately. Then in the event that you ever need to micromanage Titan it'd also already be keybound, etc.

I know it would be better if directly implemented, but you can use a macro to mimic that with the /hotbar place thing (macro to summon Garuda AND place her actions, AND put her on obey, and another macro to summon ifrit, puts him on SiC and puts his skills in the same spots)

I use this macro

/micon "Summon"
/ac "Swiftcast" <me> <wait.1>
/ac "Summon" <me> <wait.2>
/pac "Obey" <me>
/chotbar pet "Shockwave" [hotbar#] [slot#]
/chotbar pet "Aerial Slash" [hotbar#] [slot#]
/chotbar pet "Contagion" [hotbar#] [slot#]

Then one for Ifrit and Titan too, keeping the aoe, buff/debuff and stun/knockback on the same buttons (for example, Contagion is replaced by Radiant Shield when switching to Ifrit) to help with muscle memory.

are u using ifrit on obey as well? else... I don't see a reason to change their skills with a macro.. – well I use similar macros on Sch but never needed them for Smn tho.. just wondering : o

I certainly do, I like having control over the stun, and also timing Radiant Shield for things like raid-wide aoes or waiting until the tank has pulled the whole pack. Is annoying when he pops his shield just as the last mob n a pack dies...
