Scholar Pets Stances

[Dalcharis]

Scholar pets are being summoned in Guard-- with all abilities unable to be clicked, game indicating that they're in "Free Stance". Changing Stance to Steady keeps everything grey'd out and unable to be used. I only got abilities to be clickable-- once I targeted an enemy and set it to "obey"

Same problem for summoners aswell. Causing havoc trying to heal as a scholor when you want to hold onto those 3 cooldowns untill needed.

Its a pain to control Pets this way having to select Obey before you can use any abilities.

[Miiu]

Only can confirm this. Already submitted this via ingame bug report because this can't be intentional (at least I hope not)

[Hysterior]

Yeah cant use steady
So for now i just stop controlling them
I put them on sic and let them do whatever
In addition they heal less often and fly away for no reason...
And white mages thought we had been buffed....

So... yeah, This is a pretty annoying issue. x2.
First, it seems embrace casts even less than before (before it wouldn't top anyone off, now it just occasionally refuses to cast on its own).
Having to stick it in obey mode (requires targeting an enemy just to change to obey) and mash 3 extra buttons into the rotation just so it will do... something... is a pretty big PITA.

Could we get it changed back so we could utilize skills while in guard mode?
It was nice being able to heal two group members at once, or force heal a group member when it was necessary without having to toggle to an enemy, change to obey, target the PC you want to heal and click heal / embrace, toggle back to an enemy, change to guard, toggle back to PC, finish next heal, hope pet decides that it's going to use it's CDs, then rinse repeat every time an embrace is needed that the eos seems is unnecessary to heal.


I actually didn't realize how much I depended on embrace until I noticed healing was about 30% more difficult/more necessary.
edit: should read: "I actually didn't realize how much I depended on embrace until I noticed healing was about 30% more difficult since alt-1 (embrace) wouldn't fire off when I told it to."

one other thing macroing in /pac embrace <t> should do it for Selene in obey mode but that doesn't work either

[Yahavage]

Am I seriously the only person who finds it easier to manage the 3 cooldowns now? I had them all keybound before but never controlled her because I found hitting steady everysingle time to be so annoying. Now I just obey, and then I can just pop off the abilities as and when needed. I did have to keybind heel so it would follow me about, but otherwise I think it's easier to manage :/ Embrace isn't any different either for me.

Being able to now effectively tell your pet what to do without her going back into the allout I do whatever I want stance whenever you ordered her to do something is not the issue. The issue is to effectively have to target an enemy mob to even put her into that mode.
It has to be a bug because after you set obey once you can place her in guard and steady mode and still give commands. But if you place her in guard or steady after you summoned her (skipping the obey part) you can't tell her anything. The abilities are greyed out which apparently they shouldn't.

SE this is not going to work, all we asked it that you actually make our fairys do what we say. now I have to have an enemy targeted just to tell my fairy to go into a stance so that I can tell her to heal when I want? -_-

its like the Dev's are ignoring us on purpose. what can I do with a fairy that I can't even truly control? might as well just let her do whatever she wants!
