I like it. Ever since they added the ability to dismiss pets, I have had a bind on all my controllers to dismiss it. Now I just use it a bit more often, as needed.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
The benefits far outweigh the few problems. I keep a macro to dismiss my pets handy, and I will use it more often now, but it saves time.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

It's a minor annoyance for me. The first time it happend, I was surprised and thought it was a bug, so I just dismissed them. Now I have a macro in my tray to dismiss that I can use before I exit a mission. It doesn't bother me either way, I just have an extra button to push.
Ive encountered a few bugs tho that are annoying like if you came from a mish then jolt off your pets dont show up and you cant resummon
I like the fact that you can have your pets travel through zones. Phantasms are the best.
Yep. The pros outweigh the cons in my book. Although, you will get the occasional person that brings their pets into WW making it a little crowded. (Probably the same kind of people who have their spines running in WW, or have their heal-aura on auto while forming for Hami).

I have always tried to avoid bringing out my pet on the streets. With a mastermind, you can control their aggression, but with a controller pet, once they're by you, they can go and aggro a group that wanders or is standing too close to you. It's ok in low level zones, but if I'm in a zone with +5, not so good.
I do like bringing my pet out of a mission with me though. I've had a few door suprises in Bricks and letting my pet take the heat from +5 mobs while I do a quick get away is kind of nice. Once safe or if the door is clear on exit, I'll dismiss my pet and head to the next spot I need to go. It's easier for me not to have my pet dragging a mob behind it when it arrives.
I'd like to be able to make it invisible or like the sig & phantom, fly with me. I've used group fly but I've lost my pet so many times as it falls to the ground I've just left it tucked away until I'm in a mission or need it for an ambush.
For me - It's nice to know that if I need my pet, it's going to be there for me on zoning.
How do you like this new feature?
