Should Pets get more move options?

[Huntington]

Of course I myself would like if Eos or Selene had some abilities that let them inflict damage onto enemies when they're not casting Embrace or otherwise, but for Tank pets like Titan and Topaz, they can't hold aggro well when other classes can easily take it from without even doing a full rotation of their respective attacks. So say I send one of them to hit first, the enemy will aggro to me first, since you're the Summoner and the Pet is the Summon-e I guess, then when the pet lands a hit, the target will focus on them afterwards. But since most classes can easily out-DPS a Tank sometimes, it creates problems if you're trying to use them to save or salvage a situation.
You'd need to stand still for a minute to let it solidify some nice aggro damage onto the enemy usually, but since we have 4 spaces on the hotbar, for PS3 and PS4 anyways, next to their moves available right now, could more be added later on that improve their abilities? Ifrit would need this the most himself since Garuda is often more capable than him based on popular opinion, he just doesn't fill a Role anywhere.

Thoughts?

I don't know much about summoner pets because I'm sure I wouldn't micro manage them efficiently, does Titan still struggle even after the buff to his enmity hold? Although it seems like Titan isn't meant to be a replacement for a player tank for you to go all out, just so you don't run around getting smashed...or is it?

On the subject of pets I would love to see an extra button so I can place my chocobo somewhere. For those massive AoE fights, if I just want it in healer mode it's stuck to following me around. And if I'm melee, that's a problem and ultimately utterly useless.
(I really hope that button isn't there already and I didn't know)

Yeah he struggles to hold it if there's a Bard or Black Mage in the party easily, I'd have to let him wail on a target for a minute or so before it might be safe for the others to attack. If there's a player tank I should let them do it yeah, otherwise they can easily lose the aggro to healers and the like.

It would be nice for those using it for Healing to be able to place it somewhere at a distance so it stays alive.

So not only are you giving me an order, you're giving no alternatives and giving me the sense that if I don't do what you want, something bad will happen. I have your post quoted, feel free to Control+f to find where you said "should not", because it wasn't either of those. Should not isn't even used once in that post.
Yes you did, you opened your statement with a reference to another thread that you seem to have trouble letting go of, it's both off-topic and grounds for harassment if you're going to bring it up as many times as you can despite the irrelevance it has by this point, I've already reported so feel happy knowing I admitted it.

If you don't understand that small paragraph, then I'm under no obligation by this point to explain anything for you, nor would I ever want to.

So I did hurt your feelings.

You need to look at that post again that you quoted. It says should not "Eos/Selene should not get damaging moves." It is even written that way in your quote.

Also, I said I don't understand the last sentence not the whole paragraph. Even if it was the whole paragraph, you were never under an obligation to do anything, ever. Can you read?

Well I don't like eos/selene getting attack skills for the same reason I don't like smn getting buff/healing pets. The summoner class is flimsy as it is and relies you to fall back on lore constantly for explaining it's sub-par summons and lack of real summoning skills.
I do believe that because pet skills are unlocked based on your level that when a level cap increase happens our pets will also get more skills. They still have plenty of primal skills they could use.
Titan could get a mini WoL or sulpulture type dot on an enemy that increases eminety towards him. Garuda could get a razor/satin plume attack or something like slipstream. Ifrit could get a plume/eruption attack or something.
Eos i would like to see get a skill that is higher priority then healing for removing a negative status or a skill that grants a party wide protect"type" buff that lasts for 5 minutes or something and raises def and mdef i've never seen proshell be the determining factor for choosing a whm over a sch so there isn't any reason sch's should have a gimped protect when it is just as useful. Call it faire ado or something. With selene i'd like her to have an aoe buff that gives a small boost to atk/def/eva/matk/acc
