Editing General Pet Guide (section)

== Pet Control ==
This section demonstrates the interface for controlling your pet.  This is especially critical for luring/pulling, taming or backing your pet off from someone else's kill.

=== Pet Skill Bar ===
[[Image:Pet Bar.png|right]]This window provides a visual interface to your pet's actions.
<br>
''' Auto Behavior Buttons ''':<br>
This group of buttons lets you decide how your pet should react in the absence of direct commands.<br>
{| style="background:transparent" cellpadding="2"
|[[Image:Manual Icon.png]] || '' Manual '': your pet will do nothing without being given commands.
|-
|[[Image:Defend Icon.png]] || '' Defend '': your pet will attack any enemies who attack it or you, but will not attack a target simply because you are doing so.
|-
|[[Image:Auto Icon.png]] || '' Auto '': your pet will attack anything you do, in addition to targets attacking it or you.
|}
<br>

''' Movement Buttons ''':<br>
This group tells your pet whether or not it should follow you as you move around.<br>
{| style="background:transparent" cellpadding="2"
|-  valign="top"
|[[Image:Hold Icon.png]] || '' Hold '': Your pet will stay where it is, regardless of your movements.  Getting too far away will cause your pet will stow itself.  Pressing this button will cause your pet to stop attacking, however it will resume attacks based on its Auto Behavior.
|- valign="top"
|[[Image:Follow Icon.png]] || '' Follow '':  This tells your pet to follow you around as you move.  Getting too far away will cause your pet will warp to catch up.  As with Hold, pressing this button will cause your pet to stop attacking, however it will resume attacks based on its Auto Behavior.
|- valign="top"
|[[Image:Attack Icon.png]] || '' Attack '':  Your pet will move to your target and attack.  Unlike Hold and Follow, this button is not persistent.  Unlike the Skill Buttons, this command will execute if your pet is currently moving, however it will finish its current skill command before executing this one.  Alt+1 will send this command to your pet.
|}
<br>
[[Image:Pet Skill Autocast Moved.png|right]] ''' Skill Buttons ''':<br>
These button use your pets skills and as such, the icons and their order will likely be different for your pet.  If your pet is moving when the command is issued, it will finish moving before answering the new command.<br>
''Skills can also be activated by pressing Alt+2 through Alt+5 for skills 1 - 4 respectively''.

''' Auto-Skill ''':<br>
The yellow border around the second skill (image to the right) denotes that it will automatically be used when it is available.  To set which skill to use automatically, simply right click the skill (defaults to the first skill when the pet is summoned).  This change is ''' NOT ''' persistent and will need to be set every time you summon your pet.

In general, if your pet has a bash-line skill, it's best to use that as your auto-skill (Bash being ideal, elemental versions being an alternative) as they are the fastest reuse and will get the most out of auto-skilling.  If you would rather not have your pet use an auto-skill at all, simply right click the current auto-skill to deselect it.

''There is currently a bug involving pet buffs as auto-skills which can cause your auto-skill to fail.  To remedy the situation, re-assign your auto-skill.''
