The wonders and versatility of the Pet Attack command

Playing a pure summoner during testing and the Pet Attack is quite a versatile skill, not only for combat but also for movement as well.
The mouse set up I use is Move To (MT) on LMB and Pet Attack (PA) on RMB,

Movement

Normally your char is in front with your summoned army running along behind you so anything you come across it's usually your squishy summoner that's the first in range. Using PA you can change this round so that your army is always running along in front of your char and thus the first to run into any mobs.

It can take a bit to get used to the rhythm but once you do it works really nicely.

When using PA on the ground your army runs to that spot, stops, turns round and runs straight back to your char.

So if you click on the ground in the direction you want to go with PA to get the summons running then quickly (to stop the summons running back) click MT at roughly the same spot and while your char is running there, repeat the PA further ahead and then MT at roughly the same spot and keep repeating the PA, MT, PA, MT, etc,etc you end up with your army constantly in front of your char.

Combat

PA has 2 modes of attack when in combat.

Using a single click of PA on a group of mobs and your army will attack the group and your summons will each select a target to attack, not sure if it's just the nearest mob to them or what, and they will keep attack that one until it's dead and then select another target and continue the attack.

The 2nd mode is to hold down PA on a specific enemy (boss, hero whatever) then every single summon will attack that one specific target ignoring everything else around them.
