    Pets need to be immune to knockback

    Hi,
    Can you please make pets immune to the effect of knockback by default?
    Reasons:
    - targetting to use ground effects (placing pets, Flaming arrow etc) in this game is bad
    - targetting ground using game pad is very very very bad
    - game is fast paced (sometimes very fast paced, hellooo Titan Extreme...) which leaves little time to dodge enemy mechanics, cast spells, issue pet commands AND manage pet placement after every knockback (Titan, Ifrit, Demon Wall etc)
    - pet commands (Enkindle, Rouse, Sustain etc, excluding pet placement) can not be issued off-GCD, as in, while casting a spell. I guess I might be asking for too much with this one, but still.
    - we can't make pets follow other players or the enemy
    - there are no ground targetted Signs/marks to quickly send pets to earlier designated spot if pet gets repositioned
    - when placed somewhere and knocked back, pets do not return to where they were placed by player

    They really should be immune to knockback, or move back to where they were placed, or something. It's definitely a QoL fix I support. Just makes pet classes more of a chore.

    Could just make it part of Place/heel, when pets are placed, if they get moved by something other than the player they would attempt to move back to the spot where they were placed, or to master's side.

    Noted, guess I derped this one!
    Still, you can't issuse placement commands when on mount (if your pet aggros something, can't put it on Hell -> it will depop when you move too far) or when in Titan's gaol (I guess this one's by design :/)

    placing is easy on mouse/keyboard. harder on controller but I have done both are neither are all that hard like you say.
    managing pet is not hard for most of us. You may need some more practice.
    You can't use Enkindle and Rouse and stuff like that because it involves the caster as well but things that are all the pet can be done while casting. working as intended
    SMN pets will follow the enemy if not placed. You never need your SCH pet to follow an enemy.
    I would never have my SCH fairy follow a player because it would probably get cleaved and die if I did that in any content that actually has a difficulty level worth anything.
    do you really need to have pre-marked signs to make this game tell you where to place to make it even easier?
    I almost agree with your last point but I place my fairy and or garuda so that they get hit off of titans platform so they stop getting damaged but are still in range for everything so.
