Fire Imps Pet Window?

Posted

I'm playing my first fire/kin and I told the team I was on that I wish I had a pet window for my fire/imps like MM do with their minions. Someone on the team said I had to turn it on, and the only think I've been able to find is under Options>General>Window>Show Pet Window Option... and I have it enabled, but I can't figure out how to get it to pop up.

What am I doing wrong?

If you look at your team window now there should be a Pet option. Click that and it should open up the pet window you are looking for.

From then on it will be open until you close it (even after logging out).

The Windows is pretty useless, no control options available for pets.

that isn't true. if your secondary is /Kin, it can be very useful when selecting and buffing your individual pets. I use this window on my Fire/Thermal Controller. It allows me to monitor their health and the buffs i've applied.

Agreed.

I use it on my Fire/Kin so that it is easier to shield and SB my imps (I know that SB doesn't help their attack but it does help them keep up).

I just use my numpad keys(1,2,3) for each imp.

Also nice to know how many of the little buggers are still alive and kicking.

I've spent forever looking for how to do this.

For some reason turning the Option on doesn't give me the option of a pet bar in the Team menu (or I am just not seeing it).

I have seen the pet bar open before, but only in the AE when a MM pet is set to an ally. That showed me the MM pet (which I could dictate orders to just as if I was a MM, a bit weird) and my pet. When I left that mission, the pet bar went away and I've never been able to reopen it.

Thoughts?

No reason why it shouldn't be there.

Menu>Options. Then go to the bottom of the second grouping and make sure that Pet Window is Enabled. Close that. Then open your Team tab, and "Pets" should be a the top left edge over the team listing if you are on a team, or the option to search if you are solo.

I don't understand why you have to enable the option for the Pet window, though. Why not just have it always on? Since I have the Veteran's buff pet, I have it on all my characters just to see when the baddies have killed off Kenny (my group's name for it). It dies so quickly that it is nice to have that little spot on my screen to let me know that I should re-cast Kenny.

Maybe this image will help.

Ok finally figured it out. The way the word "Pets" is positioned I thought it was just a label and not something you were supposed to click. I was clicking the circular toggle button next to it, which just caused the team menu to lock to the chat window.

Heh. So when your teammates' names showed up in that window, you thought it meant they were your pets? That must have been very gratifying.

To a Troller Teammates and Pets are synonymous.
