Thread: Patch 5.0 Notes

I'll admit that the wording is misleading, but the pet skills are still there, we know as much from the Media Tour.
It also literally says they're still there, right below the part you bolded:

Wouldn't have to move them if they were gone.

All that change does is create actions similar to Enkindle where you press it to let your pet know which action to use.
Its there to clean up your UI so you can manage your pet's skills more effectively without having to set each to your hotbars seperately; especially important since we're now encouraged to swap them regularly.

Pet Healthbars being removed and their skills handled differently going forward are also largely unrelated btw; either change could have happened without the other, both changes just happen to be made at the same time.

They will be merged and the Egi Action I & II will change according to the corresponding pet. 3 of the 9 pet actions they formally had have been removed though.

These Slides are usually overly simplified and are often even slightly mistranslated; taking them as proof for anything if there is more reliable information out there is generally unwise.

They are pretty much like some other actions in the game. Like Bahamut's Akh Morn & Wyrmwave. They are there in the SMN action list but can't be triggered alone or placed in the hotbar alone. Instead you have to use Egi Assult to tigger them.

Again, the actions are still there, they are simply executed in the same way enkindles are.

Yes, Egi Assault triggers the pet to use the corresponing skill; thats literally what I said?
The poster I was referring to implied pets weren't entities anymore and summoning them would simply change the Summoners own skills, which is incorrect.
Egis are still entities, and they still use their own skills, the method of commanding them to do so is the only thing thats changed.

If you look I eddited my comment. Stated exactly that. XD

All good. It even shows it near the end of the video I posted with all pet actions on the screen and them showing the same text at the bottom of being unable to place on hotbar.
