Do the Speacial attack's stack or queue on the creature.
E.G.
I set up a macro that tells the pet to use their special attacks.
/tellpet sPattack1;
/tellpet sPattack2
Or should i put a pause in there?
/tellpet sPattack1;
/pause 10
/tellpet sPattack2
Please advise

Fighting a Mokk shaman last night with my pet I ordered it to use both special attacks (1. Intimidation 2. Crippling Strike). The crippling strike didn't seem to work since I didn't see the shaman drop a level in posture, but I did see the +Intimidated+ icon flash above his head after using the special attack 1 command. Once early in the fight and later after it had worn off. I'm not saying they do work, but it's a possibility that some of the attacks have a higher chance of working/not working against different enemies or even depending on which special attack slot they're in.

[quote:70b06d892c=\"Anonymous\"]Crippling Strike is not a posture altering attack.
I have carboneer Crippling shot & it a pure damage to ether the health or action bar.[/quote:70b06d892c]
I have read several posts confimring it posture down, also mobs with it will make you posture down.

The only thing that seems to work for me consistantly is the ranged attack. The others DO NOT work. One would think they all would be malfunctioning since they came online at the same time, but my experiments don't seem to support that theory. Such is life in the world of MCH....Nothing works as it should. Then again someone may have pets that do as they are told. Wouldn't that be something. :shock:
What I have noticed is when I tell my pets to use a special attack to initiate combat it works 50% of the time. If they are already fighting a mob/npc/pc they ignore the command to use a special. While they are fighting they seem to use specials at random.

I have gotten my BE pets to special attack upon command BUT you have to do it in a rather strange way.
I a macro for each special attack command and what you have to do it seems is to have the pet follow the target, then use a special attack, then follow, then use a special, etc. I know it sounds strange but it is working this way. My pet \"follow other\" command is \"ft\"... my special attack commands are \"sp1\" for special attack one, \"sp2\" for special attack 2 and \"rg1\" for ranged attack.
My macro's are as follows:
(Special Attack One Macro)
/tellpet ft;
/tellpet sp1
(Special Attack Two Macro)
/tellpet ft;
/tellpet sp2
(Ranged Attack)
/tellpet ft;
/tellpet rg1
The follow other command seems to get the pets \"attention\" and clears the combat queue, then it will listen to the special attack command. I cant give you a good reason why it has to be this way, I can only say that this is working for me and some of my other CH friends.
