| Animist | |
Animists are a pure spellcasting pet class that has pets that perform specific tasks in different ways. For example, they have "bomber" pets that are generated, float quickly to their target, and then explode. They also have "turrets", which are stationary pets that cast different damaging spells on any enemy that comes into range. Animists can have several turrets simultaneously, depending on their level.
To become an Animist, characters must choose the Way of the Grove - and become a Forester. Then, Foresters join the Path of Affinity. Affinity classes strive to become one with nature. This differs from other Hibernian nature classes (Bard, Warden, Druid), in that those classes feel they need to protect nature, while those on the Path of Affinity try to BECOME nature.Attributes & Races

PVE
For either PVE or RVR it helps to be able to set ground targets for your turrets quickly. An easy way is to make macros and use qbind to assign the macros to specific keys not being used for anything else. The macro ---/macro 500 /groundset 500 sets the ground target 500 units from you. I find it's handy to have a macro set for 0, 300, 600, and 950. This covers most all situations and lets you drop turrets quickly. I put the macros on the second face of Qbar 1 and use qbind to assign them to keys. /qbind 2 1 1 will assign slot one, Qbar one, face two to whichever key you choose. For the second slot just change the center number as /qbind 2 2 1, /qbind 2 3 1 etc.
