Petcom (Slash Command)

Slash Command

/petcom commands

commands will be sent to the currently selected pet. There can only be one Stance, one Action or both.

Stances

Aggressive - Attack everything in their Perception range, or that attacks you or any of your other pets.
Defensive - Retaliate to attacks made against you or any of your other pets.
Passive - Will not attack unless specifically told to.

Actions

Attack - Attacks your currently selected target, regardless of Stance. Automatically switches to Follow after all nearby hostile targets are defeated.
Follow - Follow you.
Stay - Hold position. Will move a short distance from that spot if in Aggressive or Defensive mode and attacking.
Goto - Gives you a targeting reticule to select a spot on the ground. Pets continuously attempt to move to that spot. Similar rules to Stay.
Dismiss - Causes the pet(s) to disappear from the pet window. Henchmen and other summoned pets immediately despawn. Heavies and Turrets in Recluse's Victory hang around.

Conflict

This icon is displayed in the pet window when two or more pets that fall under the same power are given different commands . This does not indicate an error. It is simply informational.

Unused

Bodyguard - Set your pets to Follow and Defend you, ensuring they are eligible and within range for Supremacy damage sharing. An example command for use with /macro_image.
Set up with the following: /macro_image "PetCommand_Action_Bodyguard" "Bodyguard" "petcom_all follow defensive"

Note

Used primarily by Masterminds on their Henchmen, this command can be used by any Archetype on Gladiators, Heavies, and Pillboxes. Does not work on non-controllable pets.

Common Uses

Binding the petcom command to keys or using them in macros can greatly increase your survivability through better control of your henchmen. See Mastermind, and Mastermind Numpad Pet Controls, which makes use of the petcom command through bind files.

This is also applicable to the control of Heavies and Pillboxes in the PvP zone, Recluse's Victory.
