TPing Pets?

Hi Guys,

have been rolling my MM (lvl 42 Necro/Dark) after a long break and sort of looking at it with a fresh eye.
I have had a few stealth jobs where I also need to drop the adjacent foes.
I aimed to summon my pets and get them all buffed up, leave them at the mish door and then stealth myself to the objective.
When there I wanted to TP and/or ATT the pets into the foes all guns a blazing sort of.
However to get the pets to stay at the door and not follow me I have to use "stay" or "go to" which works ok until I TP, because when they appear they immediately rush back to their original spot!
Help please. Or am I trying to do the undoable?

Thanks

They will be ported to you automatically after a certain distance.

Another method, to blitz missions with objectives and minimize clearing the whole map is to get invisibility (shadow fall + superspeed is one example) and then summon your minions in a safe spot. Please note: if you try this against nemesis snipers or rikti drones, you won't care for the results.

Hi Guys,

thank you for the info and guidance

Seems that I cannot do what I want to do in the manner I described.

I do have, and use, Shadow Fall and SS for personal stealth at the moment.

Is there a power similiar to "Group Fly" that gives "Group Invisibility"? I could then go "Follow me/Passive" on the pets?

I also have "Grant Invisibility" that I could use to buff up the pets on an individual basis and get them to stealth follow whilst under that buff? Wonder if it works on Pets?

Maybe I should change my playstyle (am rubbish anyway) and just stealth/tp myself to the objective and enemy spawns and then "Fear" them all whilst summoning and buffing the Pets?

Bit messy that way though and the odd miss might get me checking the carpet close up!

Cheers

Just stealth to a safe spot near the objective, summon, and work your way through whatever was keeping you from being closer. As mentioned, avoid stealth summoning near enemies with high-perception, the result is the instant retardation of the pet AI when a sniper sends one your way (you also know this).


Just go where you can and work from there. Best advice I can give you for stealthing as a Mastermind.

Grant invis does work on pets. It used to be funny to have grant inviz and group fly in PvP zones, toggle off group fly then hit aggressive on your pets. Nice to drop in that way. Grant inviz is ineffective against +perception.

Summoning pets in the shadow fall IS much safer than just regular summoning. Dark does have a lot of tools to make summoning closer to spawns in contrast to other sets like poison or traps.

Ah piece of cake:
/bind alt+shift+lbutton petcom Def Follow$$powexecname recall friend

You select the minion you want to tp hold alt and shift and click where you want him to appear. He will tp and set to follow at the same time.
