"Circle the foes at earshot range?" What does that mean, exactly? Also, neat idea, but good luck getting Anet to animate that. Now I want to ride my yelping hyena. >_< RoseOfKali 06:26, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, tricky to animate, alright. There'd be major clipping issues if they tried to use a single animation for all pets... just imagine hyena vs. rainbow phoenix, for example.  Though this did give me the amusing image of an armor-clad warrior astride a flamingo standing on one foot... one tough little birdy Nwash 07:36, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol. I guess one way around that would be to just stand on the pet, I think that's what some other games do. (Perfect World, for example.) Not the best way, but better than awful clipping or hundreds of man-hours to account for all professions and pet models.  Dam, I still want to ride my hyena. XD Their yelping must be the most annoying, except for maybe the moa birds' screeching.
 * But still, what do you mean by "... circle foes at earshot range"? Are you trying to say that you can't get closer?  If so, then what about melee foes coming to you instead?  Or do you mean that while attacking, your pet runs around in a circle?  *confused*  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 10:46, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I mean to say that because your pet can move while you attack (unless your wielding a melee weapon which is a stupid idea for this skill) your pet tries to stay the earshot range of the target foe. "Circling" implies riding along the arced path of a foes earshot range. Maybe I should try to find a better word...thx for the imput (I enjoyed the thought of the largest possible male warrior riding a warthog :D ) [[Image:DoULoomsignature.jpg|62 px]] Dictator of Undeath  11:40, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Would you want to stay still while attacking, just like normal? Otherwise you're risking unwanted aggro if your pet runs around aimlessly in a fight, and I see no advantage to letting the pet move randomly while you're attacking anyway, unless you flag it where you want it to go, but then this whole thing is going way beyond the current capabilities of GW1.

 * Agreed... way too many places in the game I wouldn't want to consider giving up control of my character's movement. If I'm riding the pet, and it's moving about on its own, yeah, I wouldn't be using this.  I'm good enough at overaggroing on my own, thank you very much! Nwash 12:43, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
