Check out this post I found on the beta forums:

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.
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!
