Pet switching macro help.

[Raxion]

I'm looking to make a Summoner macro that automatically forces my pet to switch to the target I'm currently attacking. As of now, even in Obey, my pets will lock onto a target and stick to it unless I call them off.

I've tried putting Obey in macros, but it doesn't do anything but activate Obey stance. Any help would be appreciated.

When you target a mob and click obey, your pet will switch targets and attack that mob, so in sense obey has 2 features, places pet in obey if you don't have a target, and forces it to attack the target your focused on while placing it in obey if it wasn't already.
I have Obey in my hotbar and whenever I want my pet to attack a specific target, i click on them and use obey, I don't think I have noticed any issues doing it that way.
Maybe your having issues because your not targeting the mob and clicking obey?

I'm looking more for a macro that will automatically force my pet to switch to whatever target I'm casting Ruin or Bio II on. More of an automatic micro-managing macro. I could put Obey on my bar, but that's not the result I'm looking for. I want my pet to react to my casting of Bio II or Ruin as if I just hit the Obey command.

Hope that makes sense.

Oh, in that case... you can try
/micon "Bio II"
/ac "Bio II" <t>
/pac "Obey" <t>

It should cast bio II and make your pet attack target, I tested it out a little, seemed to work, you can always replace the "Bio II" for whatever spell u need.

Perfect!

I had the command "/pac "Obey" <me>" in my macro. This would active Obey Stance on my pet, but wouldn't make him switch to my target. So I think it's safe to say that the Obey command has two functions. Using "/pac "Obey" <me>" puts your pet in Obey Stance, while "/pac "Obey" <t>" causes your pet to switch to your current target.

I appreciate the information.

Don't forget that you can command your pet outside of your own casting and cooldowns. So, if you're only binding Obey to a skill, it would be best if that was your first skill cast. I don't know if /pac before /ac would get the pet on target faster.

I can understand if you're using a controller with a big premium on keybinds, but I don't feel comfortable without at lest obey, steady, place, and heel.

I wouldn't do this since you'll want to cleave dots often in later fights without moving Garuda around. Just put obey somewhere easy to hit and toggle it when you need to.

[sasdas]

Yea, its much better to have Obey on your hotbar instead of on your spells as a macro, for the same reasons Madoka said.
