Venomancer Pet Skill Bar

Bridigan - Sanctuary

I would very much like to be able to arrange my pet's skills on its skillbar. We have this power over our own skillbars, so why not pets' bars?

The problem is that a pet will default to the first skill on its bar. If the first skill is an attack, such as Bash or Flesh Ream, there are no problems; your pet is ready to attack as soon as it is summoned. However, if the pet's attack skill is farther down the bar, it will not use that skill unless you manually select it, and this manual selection must be done every time the pet is summoned. The delay caused by manually selecting skills is not only annoying, but can be debilitating in certain situations, such as luring, where pets must be rapidly un-summoned and then re-summoned.

At the moment, the only way we can rearrange our pets' skills is to make our pets forget their skills and then re-learn them in the desired order. This can be very costly, even with ordinary skills. With rare skills, it is out of the question.

Edit: I think I'll add that with rare skills being as expensive as they are, re-teaching a Hercules its rare buffs would be almost as expensive as buying another Hercules, and that's IF you manage to find the scrolls for sale at all.

PLEASE give us a better way to rearrange our pets' skills. There are several ways to do this:

1. (most convenient) Old-fashioned "click-and-drag." A pet's skills are all displayed on its stat card. We could drag skills from the card to the skillbar, just like we do with our own skills. Or, we could simply drag skills on the bar, without having to take them from the card.

2. (not as convenient, but better than what we have now) Implement a skill-arrangement option at the Zoologist. There might possibly be a fee for this, or a scroll required. (if a scroll is needed, this should be available for purchase at the Zoologist) But even if there is a coin cost it should still be cheaper than forgetting and re-learning skills.

Edit: Forgot to add a poll first time around, so I put it in.

That got my squad killed in a BH one time. It is annoying for everyone not just venos ;o

I vote for the second option cuz its a coin sink.

*bump* because I think this issue needs attention. I can think of no good reason for us not to have this ability.

Because there's no profit in it so the GM's pay no mind.

Well and still, it's a good suggestion. I voted for 1. There are enough coin sinks in the game, I believe.

Superb suggestion.

It really needs to be implemented... Because when making pets learn new skills, the new techs are always at the end. Not so helpful when you want to make it the default attack.

good suggestion... but meh, not even close to worth the time to try implementing atm, just right click on skills. Then again, it could be... idk. But I don't see the point

Why so unclear?

other things to be suggested, not disagreeing, just more focused on other changes to be made

It should not be an idea that would be hard to implement, so why not, I'd say.
Probably not one to prioritize, but definitely an interesting one.
