Enchanter Pets
Rusty
pet. I tried the /pet guard me, /pet attack, etc all to no avail. Have I
done something wrong? He just sat there and stared at me when I gave the
commands. How can I get him to work?
Thanks
Morgan
Controlling enchanter pets is very easy. They don't respond
to any commands at all, so don't bother. They will fight the
first thing that attacks either you or them. They won't switch
targets until their opponent dies or they die.
When you hit level 12 and get Charm, you will be able to take
monsters under your control and then you can use all the pet
commands.

asking around i found that the enchanter pet is
a rather stupid animation. All that it can do is
follow you around and guard you. It will not respond
to the normal set of commands that most pets respond
to. But it is nice to have as a backup anyway. Try
soloing a wizard and you will appreciate even a dumb
pet tank.

I just started a new enchanter after playing a wizard up to 12. (I'll go
back to the wizard eventually.) I can verify that statement... and how!

You have an animation, not a pet.

true pets. Although pets and/or animations are extremely useful,
especially for solo play, they can be very troublesome in dungeons and
in some outdoor areas. Many MoBs will attack a pet or animation
without provocation. For example, last night I was in N. Karanas with
my usual party and we stopped by the Stonehenge ring to sell some items
to the named druid NPC. While standing there buying/selling, a grizzly
bear walks up and attacks my animation. Of course, the druids take
this personally and decide that they will now kill me. Mind you, the
bear attacked my animation, not the other way around, I never swung on
the bear, and I ran away from it as fast as possible. I got hit with a
Stinging Swarm DOT spell and then beaten for over 150 points of rapid-
fire damage. I got lucky and my Gate spell got me back to the bridge
to S. Karana, unfortunately the DOT spell knocked me unconcious about 2
seconds later and then I died. Luckily, I respawned right on top of my
corpse so I didn't have to go far to retrieve it. The bear might have
attacked me, even without the pet, but since I am smart enough to not
turn around and hit the bear in front of a druid, I might not have been
killed. Well, the grizzly may have killed me, but not the druids....

Semantics. It serves the basic function of a pet without all the nifty
commands. If I wanna call it a pet, by golly, I'll call it a pet. Besides,
it's kind of cute. Every once in a while I polish the shield, and I could
swear I saw it smiling at me...

intelligent pet, being a magician may be more to your liking. Their pets
respond to those orders you mentioned. Unfortunately, enchanters and
magicians are quite different, class-wise, so it may NOT be more to your
liking. :)
I don't know if necro pets are any more intelligent than enchanter's. I've
never been interested in playing with dead things.

I know there's a joke in here somewhere about my ex-husband... I'm just not
sure where....

Necro pets are very good at responding to orders.
Tarlak's tanks are quite reliable.

Nope that was a joke about my ex-wife. I miss here sometimes so I decides
to play a necromancer. hehe

Just be very careful to keep an eye on your pet in a dungeon,
especially Animations, since you can't order them to sit down.
There's apprently a "feature" in the Pet AI, which causes them to
relentlessly pace back and forth in most areas of a dungeon. If'
you're sitting in an empty room, this might not be a problem, but
sometimes your pet will go past you into a room you don't want to
enter. I found Guk to be especially bad for this, since those frogs
are more common than spores on bread mold. The Troll I was with
refered to my Elementals as a "summon train" spell.

Gross image. But effective. The English major in me applauds you... The part
of me that's a woman trying to eat her breakfast... smacks you. :D But only
with the utmost affection.

Cute. I'll watch out for it, then, thanks. Of course... at level 4 my
Pendril's Animation spell is pretty useless anyhow. It gets killed wtih one
hit from the mobs I'm fighting now.

Juli's Animation is the 4th level version. You can get that one in Qeynos.
Mircyl's animation is in Highpass, but since we're enchanters, you should
have no trouble getting there. (I got there at 4th, actually, on my way to
Freeport.)

That would be my problem, then. I was relying on the "Players' Guide" to
tell me what spells I needed. Bwahhahaha!! As if.
Thanks for the information. I'll be taking a trip out ot Qeynos.

tiny daggers for this spell. The animation only attacks something if it is
either attacking you or if you are attacking something.

The animation will only attack only if you are attacked at least once. It
could care less if you are fighting something and it never even tries to hit
you.
