I wonder if this includes the Patron Pets.
Cause that would be sweet as a few times I was finished with a mission and the pet was still around.
Thanks a bunch for this Devs! Zura of Zura always feels naked without her undead paramours around, and she much prefers to feel nekkid with them around
That will be a pain manually dismissing Troller/Dom pets when you want to go across a zone aggro free. I guess create binds to make it easier.

All ATs have access to the pet window if you enable the option to see the button.

Eh, for one, unless you're WALKING across the zone, the pet isn't going to be right next to you and won't be causing aggro on you. Even if they are near you, they follow if you're moving and won't stop to attack unless you stop. It'll more likely fall far behind and get killed if anything. Two, it takes all of two clicks to dismiss a pet, or one if you make a macro.

I am excited about this. I only have one MM, but I find the whole summon, resummon, summon again bit to be tiring. This also applies to doms and trollers with their pets?
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

MMs are my favorite ATs in the game & this new feature makes them even better.
Once i16 launches, MMs will be my favoritest AT in the game. That's right, I said FAVORITEST!!!

Up until now just about the only semi-realistic way to dismiss the 36 and 48 month Vet pets was to zone. While I'm all for the idea of allowing pets to persist while zoning that improvement does highlight this lack of direct pet control.
I have always wanted a manual command to be able to dismiss Vet pets the same way we can dismiss other pets. It would seem that the Devs could produce a new command line command that could accomplish this. Since we can only have one 36 month pet and one 48 month pet the command could be named something like "/dismiss_vetpet 0" for the 36 month pet and "/dismiss_vetpet 1" for the 48 month pet. This would allow the command to be easily bindable and open ended in case any other Vet pets ever get released.
