Default Pet Attack

Sorry if this is on the forums already. I searched (as well as Google) but when I have my skeleton pet attack a mob, if I then tell it to attack another mob, it won't attack the new mob until it kills the one it is currently fighting. Even if I tell it to follow me to stop attacking, it keeps attacking. Is there some trick to this or is that just the way it is?

Pet attack - pet attacks target
pet back - pet stops attacking and either returns to guard spot or to owner
pet follow - pet follows owner
pet guard here - pet stays at location, and when you tell pet to back, it will go to this location
pet sit - pet sits down, but if you say pet back, it will follow owner.

If you tell pet to attack target A, it will attack target A until it is dead, or you say to pet back.

If you tell pet to attack target a, then pet attack target b, it will attack A until it is dead, then go to B.

What you want to do is /pet attack A... /pet back.../pet attack b

If pet gets hit by mob A after /pet back, it will turn and resume fighting mob A tho.
Can help the pet with root or tank the mob yourself shortly.
Might have to spam the /pet back hotkey.

Thank you both! Much appreciated.

What can make this more fluid is setting up a button to cycle through targetable NPCs

So, you can back the pet off, press tab (or whatever key) and re-engage the pet quickly.

...and remember, the pet might switch back again if mob A is still hitting him ^^

Yeah I have tab set to cycle through mobs.

Then I made a hotkey:
/pause 1, /pet back
/pet attack

another hotkey I use to keep a pet from returning to combat instantly when you want them to follow you is..
/pause 1, /pet back
/pet follow

Oh nice! I'm just going to replace my pet attack bind with that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
