Pet Command: Move To

Unread post by Mania »

Check out this post I found on the beta forums: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa ... eNo=30#588
Not sure when this was changed, but it seems new. Hunter pet bar has had the "Stay" command replaced with a new "Move to" command. When selected, this brings up a small targetting circle that you can place nearby, and your pet will then move to that area like a good little cat/wolf/spider/tyrannosaurus rex

Oooo, neat! That will make taking screenshots and flag-guarding a bit easier. Sure, Eyes of the Beast do the same thing, but this way you can be slightly lazier. :D

Thanks for the info!

Oh that's awesome!! Hopefully it'll help with stuff like jumping off cliffs in in dungeons and such. :)

I doubt they'll ever add something to allow the pets UI to jump by itself, Sara. :(

Aye, it's been desperately needed ever since they released the game.

Actually one change I did notice is for some really long jumps your pet jumps with you now. I noticed it in a few dungeons. But not always.

This will be a new - cool feature.

They only jump with you when there is absolutely no other way without running out of range so they despawn. If they can run down, they will. -.-

agree. Pet will only jump with you if there is no other path to run.

I expect if the move allows you to position on the floor of where you are going to jump, the pet will have a path to run around to get to that position. Otherwise, the target will not be available.

In dungeons when we go off a ledge I just use Eyes of the Beast quickly first to place my pet down on the lower level, then I jump after. This prevents any bad pathing pulls.

It'll be much harder to molest druids with our pets now. :(

I'm very upset with the removal of Eyes of the Beast. :( I mostly used it just for fun...walking around as your pet, jumping...it was just such an awesome feature.

I used it to make Apollyon look like a shark in the Stormwind Canals, or for running in circles before the Festergut fight, or for standing right on top of fish feasts.....I'll miss it too, Veph. :(

I'd definitely like to keep EotB, it's a very fun talent, and great for screenies. I'm sure you can camp fish feasts with this new talent though! ;)
