Thunder can no longer be used as an additional skill by Disciples of Magic.

The following changes have been made to pet actions:
...
When set to Obey and Steady, pets will only execute actions when commanded, and will remain in the Steady stance.


Are you saying that not only did you take a dot from us, but Garuda will no longer do her normal attack on obey!?!?!?!?

I hope they obey/steady change is just something lost in translation or something along those lines. I would like to think that the developers are smarter thent hat

I hope so too. I am still pissed about thunder.

This isn't the pet AI update we were looking for, this is only adding more frustrations. So now if we want to manually apply contagion we now have to manually hit garuda's auto attack? <_< I really hope this is an error.

i'm sure its an error. if anything they made pet AI even worse somehow with this change.

they made it better for Scholar. these changes, with the 15% dps nerf, and allagan boot change taking a hard hit at our itemization.

What where they thinking when they thought about all of this? I want a dev response to all of this.

Yeah i'm sorta glad they fixed SCH since I play that too, but making SMN into a button mash contest in the process isn't the way to go. We shouldn't have to choose between "Blow all cooldown moves ASAP" or "Do nothing at all"

this is actually something i was just talking about. the NA forums rarely if ever get any communication from devs. And its starting to show because none of these changes were really talked about at all. They just kinda dropped a bomb on us. I guess i'm just used to companies like riot and blizzard communicating through forums more often.
Some communication would be appreciated so we could clarify some of the poor translation on the patch notes. There are things missing from the Japanese patch notes as well. its just all in all poorly communicated.

Yeah this doesn't make any sense. Can we get a dev comment on this please? Let me know...because this will be the final nail in the coffin for SMN if true.
