Editing Introduction to Venomancers (section)

===Stances===

There are three battle stances that a venomancer's pets can have: Manual, Auto, and Defend. Once set, the stance will be remembered by the pet panel and will be consistent amongst all pets summoned.

'''When to use Manual...'''


Putting your pet on Manual makes them more responsive to commands when in combat than when in any other stance. In both Auto and Defend, a pet will attack enemies automatically thus making it difficult to tell your pet to Follow or Halt. The same issue does not occur when a pet is in the Manual stance. It is therefore recommended that this stance be used when luring a monster or boss using the Follow command or when wanting to prevent your pet from doing any additional damage. 


'''When to use Auto...'''


For the majority of your PVE gameplay, you will want to have your pet in this stance. This will ensure that your pet attacks anything that you do and that your pet will not return to you until all attacking monsters have been dealt with. As stated previously though, you will have difficulty executing Follow and Halt commands.


'''When to use Defend...'''


Though it is not a commonly used stance, Defend can prove to be quite useful in pk-enabled areas. When in Defend, your pet will automatically attack any monsters or players that are attacking you. Your pet will however not automatically attack on the first hit that you land on a previously docile monster. As such, it is not commonly used for PVE gameplay.
