It is absolutely necessary that Steady and/or Obey be changed to allow commands both in and out of combat. The AI simply isn't good enough for focused healing or intense battles like Turn 4-5. Having to target a mob (in the case of Obey) is also counter intuitive and over complicates the Scholars role as a healer so allowing pet commands in Steady or dropping the target requirement on Obey would help a great deal.
