EQInterface Forums - View Single Post - Pet window for real pets :)

I have been playing EQ since before you could change the UI, and have both a shaman and a mage. Long ago I placed the pet commands on hotkeys and use them there. Since I primarily use the keyboard and not the mouse this works very well for me. If you're mouse centric, hitting the hotkeys can be a pain, but if you get used to using the keyboard for everything it's actually faster than the mouse and much easier. Just as an example of keyboarding. I run my cleric on my second account and my bard on my first account (on the same computer) so I'm not only switching screens, but I'm twisting 4 songs and healing with the cleric. Try it with a mouse. The point being that want you want to do is easily doable, you just need to use the interface more efficiently. Just my 2 cents worth. I know lots of people find keyboarding difficult, but i have never been able to figure out why. It may take you some time to get used to it, but it really is more efficient once you do.
