Those four little dots in the end of it makes me doubt your claim.

That seems a pretty darn useful command. I like it a lot and it makes for a lot of delight role-play wise as well. :D

Soooo.....Back on track here:

Thats a cool new ability, and seeing the fox in motion is a nice treat. I think I'll enjoy that one. Most likely though by the time Cata is released there will be a range limit on the pet. Hopefully it will fixe the areas where hunters need to jump down and pets run around the long route pulling as they go.

A... gnome with no legs?

Also: Point-and-go stay command = awesome. Now people can take screenshots with their pets in the right place. :lol:

Well that is what Dismiss Pet is for...
I do like the Move To command, that will definitely add a tactical layer to mob control in the questing environment. It's not a new ability exactly, we could always position our pets but this new interface is so much more user-friendly, I can see more Hunters getting use of out strategic pet positioning in the future.

I hate that spell. Takes so long to cast. I wish Blizz made it an instant cast, or just let pets follow us off cliffs. There's a few randoms where you have to use it, and it never fails... all the non hunter types get really pissy about the amount of time it takes to dismiss a pet. Cause you know, randoms are all about speed now and not taking the time to do them right.

Instant Cast on that would be very nice I agree. Putting a cast time on Dismiss Pet doesn't make any sense at all and I suspect it's just one of those things that never gets dealt with due to low priority.

When non-Hunter types get pissy about how long it takes to Dismiss, ask them if they'd rather have the pet pull a bunch of mobs instead, which would take far longer to deal with than a few seconds of the spell cast time.

Dismiss pet has a cast time to stop people spamming dismiss/call pet and annoying people in PvP (basically, if you could do it, people would find a way to abuse it).

I've seen it suggested that dismiss should instant cast, but put a 5 sec cooldown on call pet, which seems like an elegant solution to me.

In jumpy dungeons, I prefer to use Eyes of the Beast, make the jum with the pet and cancel the buff in mid air and make it myself. It's a challenge to one day be in the air before the pet lands :D

I did the same thing, though I guess now without EotB we won't be able to. :(

I agree. Gundrak comes to mind immediately. My groups always jump that one path down into the water, and I always have to dismiss Felyndril or risk the wrath of my group mates. I'll have to try EotB next time though, it might be more efficient...

My pet always followed me on that particular jump. The one I think of is when groups skip the Bog Monster and Witch lady in one of the Bug City Heroics (The one with the Faceless Ones)
