I play Hunter and Falconer. When I only had one pet, I used to put companion food on a hotkey like potions, so I could easily feed my pet by pressing a button. Since I out-level my pet from using EXP cards, my pet dies easily to mobs that are around my level. Hotkeying the food makes it easier to bring it back from death/constant stun-lock in the middle of a fight to use skills.
This worked fine until I became a Falconer. Now the hotkeyed food goes to the hawk by default. I tried to “bring along” the pets in different orders in the lodge, tested feeding at different distances, targetted the specific pet and even used a Falconer skill so the hawk flies away. It does not matter if my hawk is already at full bar and my velheider’s bar is depleted. The food always goes to the hawk.
For simplicity’s sake, it would be nice if the hotkeyed food would feed the pet with the lower stamina % at the time.
On a side note, I noticed my character now gets stuck in feeding animation, whereas you used to be able to drop the food and keep moving. Is this intentional? This is troublesome in certain situations.
