Ifrit-Egi swap of basic attack and ability?

[DrakEmono]

Greetings

I wasn't really sure about where to post this message, I hope I'm at the best place for this topic...

I was rather surprised when I was doing some researches on google, but I have the feeling nobody is bothered by the fact Ifrit-Egi's first ability and basic attack (I call the basic attack the ability with 3 secs of recast time) swapped, unlike every other summons (At least on I and II) from both Summoner and Scholar.

Isn't there a solution to swap them back in a way or another? The fact we can't edit the pet bar is a bummer for it...

Thanks

The ability order is even less consistent than that. From left to right, it goes

Garuda-egi: Primary attack, interrupt, AoE, support
Titan-egi: Primary attack, AoE, support, interrupt
Ifrit-egi: Interrupt, primary attack, support, AoE

You can work around this by disabling the pet bar altogether and macroing your Summon spells to put the abilities on normal hotbars so the corresponding abilities are always the same button.

The template goes

/micon "Summon X"
/ac "Summon X"
/hotbar pet "Primary Attack Name" "Egi Name" bar# slot#
/hotbar pet "AoE Attack Name" "Egi Name" bar# slot#
/hotbar pet "Support Ability Name" "Egi Name" bar# slot#
/hotbar pet "Interrupt Ability Name" "Egi Name" bar# slot#

ex.:

/micon Summon
/ac Summon
//hotbar pet "Wind Blade" "Garuda-Egi" 1 4
/hotbar pet "Aerial Slash" "Garuda-Egi" 2 4
/hotbar pet "Contagion" "Garuda-Egi" 3 4
/hotbar pet Shockwave "Garuda-Egi" 1 7

You don't need quotes if the ability name is one word, or if you use auto-translate phrases. Auto-translate phrases are also valid for egi.

Controller users will need to use /chotbar instead; for details type

/? chotbar

Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the delay.

Sounds rather lame to do such a macro just for it... eventually, I can see that abilities other than the primary attack are also on random orders. But at least, only the primary attack remains automatic even when the pet has to follow orders. Which means that, even if I can get used to the random order (which are usually in the order of leveling actually), I just don't have to bind the primary attack... except for Ifrit-egi exclusively! Basically, I would need to bind the first slot (where it's usually the primary attack) only for a single pet...
