List of options below, separated by commas, enclosed in [ ]

Options

These options are the same format as used in the cast command, however only the following have been tested:

target=unitid

@unitid

Casts on a specific target without changing your current target.

Examples:

/petattack [target=targettarget]

This will tell your pet to target your target's target (e.g. If you have a friendly target that is attacking a hostile target.)

/petattack [target=focustarget]

This will tell your pet to target your focus' target (e.g. If you have a friendly target on /focus, and it will attack their target.)

Patch 3.3 Changes

With patch 3.3, you can change the "target=" with an "@" symbol. This will reduce the amount of characters used (with a total of 255 characters limit)

/petattack [@targettarget]

/petattack [@focustarget]

Notes

If no target is given, the pet will attack the player's target.

This will cause you to become PvP flagged if you attack a PvP flagged unit.
