If I tell my merc to backoff, it sets it to passive. Is there a slash command or something else that I can put in a macro to set the various fields? As is I have to hit both blue react buttons, the Protect dropdown, and the Assist dropdown if I call my pet back for any reason. I use the DarqUI merc window, and it has a pull button that puts the merc into passive for 5 seconds after it aggro's then resets the 2 blue react buttons. But it doesn't reset the other settings. Also I think the assist option is a bit buggy, if I mez a mob he takes that as an attack command and breaks my mez. I set assist in groups because if I don't take damage, I have to tell him who to attack for every mob or he just stands around. Anyone out there having better luck controlling their merc?

Am aware of those. I'm looking for something that sets the preserve_master and preserve_self states, short of taking the time in combat to hit those buttons on both pet and merc.
