It's not so important early on, but you'll need it later.
Thank you for this useful information. I will just make sure to bind all these necessary skills to my other hotbar. I am very particular about the order I want the buttons to be on the bar, so I very well may create my own petbar eventually; it just kills me not being able to change the order that they appear on the bar. I want the first button to be "Sic," not withdrawal or whatever is happens to be on the preset petbar. It just makes no sense to me.
