Move To...missing 'Stay' command

[Vephriel]

After trying it out on the Beta, I have to say I'm not overly impressed by Move To. It's a great new ability, no doubt about that, however having it instead of the Stay command is really bothering me.

There are just certain occasions where the Move To is a real hassle to use. For example, if I were normally running around or moving I could always quickly hit Stay to park my pet as I went. It was fast and convenient. Move To requires you to use a targeting circle and place it on a spot of your choice....sometimes this isn't always convenient if you're in a rush or in the middle of something where you just quickly wanted your pet to stay.

Another issue I noticed while swimming around in Vashj'ir.....you can't have your pet stay if you're in the middle of the water. Move To has to have its target circle placed on a solid piece of ground. You can't just target the middle of the water.

Overall I like the ability just fine, but I'm really disliking losing the simple Stay command. Eyes of the Beast is a whole other topic that I miss the more time I spend in Beta also, but for functionality I think it's a mistake to have Move To completely take over the Stay command.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Unless they removed it in a current build, the "Stay" command is still in your pet's spellbook...just not on their bar at first. You should still have a pet Stay option, I think.

Really? Oh thank god, if that's the case then I'll have no issues at all. <3

While I agree that lack of one-click pet parking is a regression, I think it is outweighed by the sheer utility of Move To overall. I hadn't realized Move To doesn't work in water though. Will see if I remember to log in to PTR and /bug tonight - that really doesn't sound good.

*nods* The utility of Move To is fantastic, I just wouldn't want to see it replace 'Stay' completely, for the reasons mentioned above. I never even thought to look in the pet spellbook for Stay though, I was honestly under the impression Move To was the replacement.

I'm not sure,but I think BRK did an underwater video recently,and he had his pet use the Move To command,and it worked really well.
Unless Blizz nerfed it.

I'll see if I can find it.

Move To works fine if you're at the ocean floor where 'ground' is, but if you're just floating up in the middle with no solid areas around you, you can't use the target since it's equivalent to trying to click in mid-air.
