Summoner Egi Steady/Guard

[RhaegarFFXIFenrir]

Any other summoners have the problem of having your Egi autoassist you when you don't want them to. The result can be anything from aggroing mobs you didn't want aggroed or even the killing of frozen Renaulds. What I'd like to see from SE is them to make Steady/Guard and Obey/Sic independent of each other. Summoners should be able to enter an instance, put their pets on steady and obey. When they assign their pets to attack a target and it dies, the egi does nothing until ordered to attack again. If they want autoassist again they can just put guard back up. This would save a lot of hassle managing pets and give us more control over how they behave.

Steady/Guard and Obey/Sic are independent of each other. Issuing a Obey or Sic order takes them off of Steady, but you can just put them back into it and Obey/Sic settings are retained (functionally; in practice it doesn't matter because you need to issue another command or otherwise take them into Guard anyways).

What you're really asking for is Steady/Guard to persist through death like Obey/Sic does. Which would be nice.

no....i'd like steady to persist through target death. Setting sic/obey on a target automatically removes the pet from steady and puts it in guard. You have to put it back into steady after your target is dead to take it off guard. Steady should persist. I say this because, no matter how fast you are on the trigger putting steady back up, there's always the possibility that it gets an attack off on something you might not want it to attack, such as a slept target, or a just petrified renauld in T7. The other possibility is that you are doing something outside of instances, like beast tribe quests. You forget to put steady back up after killing a mob and get on your mount you can't issue any commands to your pet at all. Then you get aggro and you have a choice: assist your pet, or ride off and resummon it later.
