I try to make the following macro on all my people with Lore (so far I am failing miserably and only have it on 2 of ~7 characters with Lore).
/macro Atk "petcom_all aggressive attack"
It is likely a good idea to at least have 2 other commands.
/macro Def "petcom_all defensive follow"
/macro Pas "petcom_all passive follow"
All that being said, I was on an STF and while tanking Recluse I tried to have my Lore pets help on the towers. I dragged LR over to be relatively close to the red tower (but not close enough for him to AoE the team) and summoned the pets, I then targeted the red tower and pushed my macro. Vicki charged Recluse, yay scrapperlock. I tried several times to get her to attack the tower instead, but she just kept pointlessly flailing away on Recluse. Eventually, I succeeded in getting her to attack the Blue tower, and then she was fine doing that and working on the yellow.

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.
so far ive never had problems controlling my lore pets, they all have seemed fairly responsive to my commands
i just drag over the default attack command and edit it to be "attack defensive" so they are in a defensive mode unless i need them to attack a specific target
Quote:
When you set the pets to Aggressive stance, that put the AI in charge, which is why she swung around onto the closest target. Basically you are telling them to attack my target, and then you tell them to set stance aggressive which puts the AI in control.. Try "petcomall attack" without the stance instead or "petcomall attack aggressive" might work, I never tried to do that as it seems counterproductive to me. You need "petcomall defensive follow" and/or "petcomall aggressive follow" (that last is default controller pet behaviour).

The Vicky seems to be the victim of a syntax bug when you try to give her commands. Clicking the "Attack my target" button for the Vicky will make the game enter the command /petcomname "Mk-VI "Victoria" Essence" attack. As you might notice, the quotes in the "Victoria" part of the name make the game think the Name argument for the petcomname command ends after Mk-VI. Since there's no pet named Mk-VI out, the command fails. This pretty much means it's impossible to give the Vicky individual commands.

Actually, /petcom and its derivitives support partial name matching, so it will find the right pet... and then give it the command Victoria" Essence" attack - which is where the problem arises.

@Roderick
I've got a fire/ice and her Warworks are the stupidest, laziest pets I have ever seen. Maybe it's my positioning, but on aggressive they should go after my targets and even aggro all kinds of stuff I wouldn't like, based on other pets I've had/seen, but this is mostly from my imps and ill/ controller pets.
Anyone else have moron pets? Is it just Warworks?
