Quick question--I'm using ProfitUI (I have been since I started playing my necro), and when I have a charmed pet, there's no window to give it commands or view its health. Is this just a bug in Profit, or is it like that for everybody? I seem to remember duoing with a necro and seemed like he could tell his regular pet to stay in 1 place and anchor his charmed pet at another place, and send them in separately. Both pets obey the same command for me, though.

nah, two pets, one window. Video is on the net somewhere =p

video of what, frog? no way that i know of that you can explicitly tell your tank pet to attack but your charmed pet to not attack. or even better, to explictly tell only 1 of the 2 pets to back off.

you can sort of get that kind of half-baked behavior by tinkering with defense modes, but it's not overly useful in my practice.

split anchoring:
1. anchor both your tank & charmed pet where you want your charmed pet to end up
2. run over to where you want your tank pet to end up. summon pet (this brings tank pet to you)
3. quickly toggle anchor off->on

only main pet attacking:
1. charmed pet comes with 'defend self' and 'defend owner' set to ON when you first charm it. make sure you explicitly set both to OFF after charming a mob (it's going to show you the state of your primary pet if it's up, but when you make any changes they also apply to charmed pet)
2. set 'defend self' to ON
3. taunt (AA) with main pet. it starts attacking after the taunted mob hits it, but charmed mob won't (until charmed mob gets hit with some sort of AE)
4. this doesn't work 100% of the time and frankly I don't know what is different. sometimes mobs start beating on me after taunt instead of the pet until i'm forced to tell the pets to attack.

Ahah! So that was how you did it! Thanks Twisty

Oh, and I think Frog was making a joke... two pets, 1 window... 2 girls... well, I'm sure you can make the connection about the video on the net
