Summoned Control

[LGHTNIN33]

I don't know if this has ever been brought up before, but since the ground work for hirelings has been established for basic control commands ,what about the monsters we summon by spell? I like that fact that we will be able to dismiss them when Mod 9 arrives but even the simplest of control commands to summoned monsters would also be nice. Commands such as stop,hold,attack and follow would make a summons more useful than just an aggro magnet.From my personal experience, the thing that has always been frustrating with a summoned monster is the second they spawn they are looking to aggro anything and everything in sight and when you are looking to run away or run through an area they stay to fight till the death no matter what. Just a suggestion for a little more versatility in the game.

I posted a thread a few weeks ago along the same lines. Had some good input but not alot of attention.....i think peopls are just more concerned with fixing the lag and new content instead of making summoned monsters easy to control........i think its a great idea but i dont think they'll put much/if any time into it.

I believe when they announced hirelings they said that when they had ironed out the workings that it would be used on summoned creatures as well and would let them make the companions for ranger, wizard, and druids. As with most things the time they require to do anything is long though.
