Solution for SCH/SUM Pets...discuss

[Borfin]

In patch 2.1 we will be making a few adjustments to pet hotbars and abilities, starting with being able to hide the pet hotbar for mouse and keyboard users and addressing the use of pet actions for macros.
We're looking into various adjustments, but did want to clarify that we have no plans to implement a gambit style system for pets.

That's a shame, as it makes SCH healing needlessly tedious and would certainly set SCH apart from a typical pet class in any other MMO.

I don't mind pet micromanagement when DPSing, but the fluidity takes a huge hiccup when Eos starts popping Whispering Dawn when I DON'T FREAKING WANT HER TO WD.

just make a macro that put her in steady after WD (when macro are released)

Ah, but that's the trick, isn't it?

The fairies already feel like they run on their own 'gambits'. Does anyone get that vibe? Here's my 'attempt' at how they use their spells...assuming that they are on Sic.

Eos:

Ally: Owner HP<70% - Embrace
Ally: HP<70% - Embrace
Ally: HP<90% - Whispering Dawn
Self: HP<70% - Embrace
Self: HP<90% - Whispering Dawn
Ally: Any - Fey Illumination
Ally: Any - Fey Convenant


Selene:

Ally: Owner HP<70% - Embrace
Ally: HP<70% - Embrace
Self: HP<70% - Embrace
Foe: Skill Casting - Silent Dusk
Ally: Any - Fey Glow

Selene:

Ally: Owner HP<70% - Embrace
Ally: HP<70% - Embrace
Self: HP<70% - Embrace
Foe: Skill Casting - Silent Dusk
Ally: Any - Fey Glow

now if they added an
Ally: 51%+ DoW - Fey Light
Ally: 51%+ DoM - Fey Glow

Then Selene wouldn't need microing at all. I'm mostly leaving the fairies do their job anyway, which is only ever an issue when Eos decides to cast Whispering Dawn at a papercut or Selene running across half the map to silence a succubus.

Finally being able to macro their commands opens a few interesting possibilities though. I do hope they will fix stances changing after skill execution.
Did anyone notice that setting Selene to "obey" also additionally acts as "stay"?

Don't make this only keyboard+mouse. I don't want to "bumper" into the pet bar any more than the keyboard+mouse users want to see their pet bar. Make it a crossbar option to disable the pet bar also.

Leveling my CNJ and ARC now trying to figure out which to use for healing. LOVE the way arc looks and how they hold the book, end game sch gear isnt bad either but can't stand pet classes. Really wish SCH wasn't pet based but I might try it anyway over whm. Relying on AI sucks.

You already can, it's in the crossbar options.

Can you please make Selene use her Skill Speed buff on her own? I'm not asking for gambits here, I'm saying that she will never use that ability of her own free will.

Allow us to use heel while on a mount cause sometimes when a monster targets me my pet ends up attacking it and i leave it behind then it withdraws and i have to resummon it again.
