Recall minion request to recall AA's spent.

This is merely some facts and suggestion, not a qq thread. I am OKAY with it staying as is, I just feel it could be more beneficial if I could reverse what I spent.

Recall Minion 1st Rank - Wipes agro from pet but mob remembers.

Recall Minion 2nd Rank - Wipes agro from both pet and mob.

The 1st rank I have no issue with. It's the second rank that has come to bug me so much. So me being and enchanter soloing my summoning mobs it has become an issue, my pet will be tanking and I need to hit the button because I got an add and want to put pet on it fast, it's faster than casting mez. I can't do so cuz other mob forgets pet and wipes me out. If I could do so I could cast mez then. I really would like to undo that 1 AA and never do it again.

It's also killed me when I'd be pulling a casting mob and the mob hits me with spell and then I'm trying to bring it to my camp but my pet dmg'd it and then I'm screwed cuz as soon as I hit recall minion I'm summoned and I was trying to move the mob out of add city yanno? It's really hard to just spam recall minion when I'm trying to run before mob gets dmg'd, I use my mouse for running, as well as when I do get a casting mob pet, and it's in the middle of a cast to hit the mob with a spell, I would like to recall it before it wakes up my mob and summons me due to mez from breaking before taunt and visage. Once I hit that button, I am now tank I can't have this happen. I need to mez mob to heal pet with clickies and rune myself and mob before doing next round of dmg.

Also I have this charm kite thing.. I hit mob recall, rerune at a distance then send in pet. I can't do that cuz I get summoned and crushed. I may as well as treat it like soloing a lvl 65 mob and just do my long 20 min strat on it. Even if pet gets summoned I could then spam recall minion when mob is summoning him so I could mez mob without pet taking unnessicary dmg.

Idk.. I just feel it broke me in a sense.

I mean it's nice for when pet gets on ramp, BUT it still screws up my ramp pet.. dru/clr slow on CH and I need to recall minion let it get the CH and have someone sub the ramp and then I send back in and it can take over ramp... but nah it was mem wiped. =\
 
Solution so everyone is happy?

/cm setrecall 1/2

Sets recall minion to one behavior or the other.

Since making the first behavior default would be absolutely terrible.
 
/cm setrecall 1/2 is a pretty cool idea, there are times where my pet dropping aggro would be pretty nice. It would be incredibly useful w/ charm soloing and would open up different ways to solo and kill summoning mobs

Can also use /pet back off then /pet attack on the mob you want it to attack

Yes it does work very rarely and is very limited... you need a great distance fast on pet especially when the pet is low hp snared as well as some mobs have huge melee range. Not Entirely effective. Lots of mobs hit very fast on ikisith. So when you hit that back button as they are running back to you the pet got hit then turns back around and fights. Deffinately doesn't work when pet has a dot on it. And if I were to send to another mob with a dot on, if that dot ticks the pet will go back to previous target. Hence why you need 1st ranked in Recall Minion for pet to forget it's previous attacker.

One thing I noticed. You realize it would be just as fast now that pets behave appropriately to directions to just hit backoff and petattack in rapid succession? Honestly just put it into your petattack macro. Toss the stance in there once you get that class tome too.

That's a fairly recent change so I figured I would point it out. Similarly if you're trying to bring something back to camp that summons I would suggest backing the pet off manually (with velocity if you don't already have a form of runspeed on it) , or using rat-goblin-orc monster summonings in order of increasing risk to pull.
 
anything from the devs/gms about this situation yet? I mean it hurts the solo charmering chanter more then helps. I would really hope we can get something done about this or answered one way or another.
 
Dude, summoning mobs exist in game to shove thumbs in casters eyes. So you get to listen to asshats tell you how they were soloing them in tier 3, and how come haven't you finished that quest, why do you have to be carried through all this content, and wow never noticed this stuff summons.

As, all the other classes are trivially wrecking it.
 
Any love for this suggestion? I really need (no aggro wipe) pet recall.
(Or at least a method to go back to recall 1. Recall 2 usuless for xp, not bad in raid tho)
