The Horrible Effect of Parry

[Flymo]

In many fights this isn't as hard as it might seem either. If the pet ends up not on the side or behind you can just tell it to stay. Shift your position tell it follow send it back in. It does not need to get all the way back to you either since it will beeline to you and beeline back so you can change position pretty fast. The issue is that while you can move and not delay an autoshot if you stop in time you can't fire steady on the move. But when a beast hunter pet can push over 200 DPS you learn how to deal with it. You also want the pet behind the boss anyway to up it's damage to avoid the blocks and parries anyway.

Easier said than done with a shadowfiend - they don't hang around long enough to order around.
