Seems to be wrongish
If you want your pet to use something else like contagion or curl you have to press obey again.
Not saying its technically wrong because if you don't specifically tell it to use it, yeah, it will only spam its first attack.
But that just seems silly not to use a pets stuns or I guess more specifically contagion.

you only want garuda to spam the first attack, other attacks are weak for single target.

you manually use contagion to make sure that you have all 4 dots (sometimes 5) up on the target before casting contagion, because what's the use of it if garuda just spams contagion and it will sometimes cast it when there are little to no dots?

cant tell you how many times I started a fight and had garuda use contagion without a single dot on a enemy.
in short obey is your friend when using garuda

Correct, you want your summon to only use its main attack until YOU want it to use one of its other abilities. with the prime example of what u said with contagion

This is wrong, once Obey is pressed, it stays on Obey even after you use a move like Contagion.

Is this new? <_<

As long as you command your summon to Obey at least once in its life time, it will never use any other skill besides its first basic attack until you command it to do so!

Well, I know that i just meant like
Whenever I used contagion it would reset the obey command and start using other things
I could have just been misclicking or whatever but I could have sworn you would have to click obey again after each contagion
But I guess I was wrong :S

Lets make this clearer. Clicking obey by its self won't keep it in obey.
Only when combining targeting a mob plus clicking obey will the egi stay in obey"stance". Until death/resummon/zoneing.
Just make sure tank is tanking since obey orders an attack.
