NPC Fellow Weapon SkillsFollow

I would like to see some way of selecting which Weapon Skill
Your NPC will use (according to weapon/job limits).
Mine will randomly pick a weapon skill to use some times it's {Slice} sometimes {Nightmare Scythe}. Now me being a RDM using a Sword, I have a decent Skill Chain with my NPC ({Nightmare Scythe}->{Burning Blade}) = Liqufaction + Magic Burst with {Fire II}.

I'd like to see a way either from the Rendevous(sp?) Point or from the NPC Fellow chat menu to pick which weapon skill and wether they will open or close the skill chain.

Yeah, having more control over this would be nice. I main job THF, so I don't have a whole lot of problems, but I agree that being able to select the WS would be great.

{yes please.}

All those timeswe could have SC'ed if my NPC would just stop being a n00b and going 1st whenever we both had TP. They say "I'm ready when you are" or "we can go anytime" when they have TP 1st, but if your ahead of them theres almost no chance for you to open, they use their weapon skill to fast.

Also whats up with cure 3 when cure 2 would have doen the job and aquaviel when I really could have used a cure 3 -.-


/slap <npc>
/t <npc> dumbass!

It might be lovely but i'm not sure it is entirely possible.
I would love to have my NPC do nothing but Tachi: Gekko, but I guess SE thinks there are some balance issues.
I am still asking for a disable of all AoE WS. This should not be hard to execute at all.
I'm sending periodic Emails in the suggestion box about disabling AoE WS to further broaden NPC weapon selection, hopefully it will be answered someday

As a SMN using spirit taker and unchainable BPs, I'd love a way to simply tell my NPC to only use the most powerful attack. (or maybe the one lowering defense... I like that too)
