Call pet (hunter ability) only works from spellbook

When Call pet is placed on any action bar it does not work. If I open my spellbook it works when clicked in the spellbook.

Same issue for me as well. Any fix yet?

Ok, so i see it’s a Bartender issue - however, Bartender says it’s up to Blizzard to fix the fly out :crossed_fingers:

Did you try putting all your pets in the stable and getting them back out

Is the implication that action button flyouts don’t work in the default UI?

The alternative is that add-ons are currently not allowed or able to do flyout action buttons, and Blizzard has to add the capability back for addon support (which they could choose to not do).

I’ve noticed also with key binds on action bars will not let you cast certain pet abilities when turned off unless you hit the keybind button with mouse button. I switch it to my main action bar when I press 1-5 abilities and it work there but not when assigned with key binds on another action bar.

No but i will try that now

Any hunter, warlock or rogue need to use the flyout - I hope blizzard allows it on addon UI’s since they have up until now.

Not just call pet, but anything else that uses > to open up other options, eg portals/pet utilities etc

There is an awkward alternative: flyout spells can be pulled off the flyout (such as in the spellbook) and dropped as individual spell buttons on an action bar.

For things like individual hunter pets, 5 active pets in 5 buttons is manageable even if it’s lame and janky. For a mage with over a dozen teleports and portals, it would be ridiculous to require whole action bars for destinations or force players to pick and choose.

I don’t understand how Blizzard broke addon button bars but this is not cool.

I don’t use Bartender - This problem effects every single character of mine with ā€˜flyouts’ as you guys call it. Can’t choose rogue poisons if it’s on my bar… can’t teleport or portal with my mage… etc…

I’m having the same problem. i dismissed my pet and now can’t get her back. frustrating

This, according to mod authors for action bar addons, is a due to a limitation to Blizzards’ API since the update. It removed options for mod developers to utilize ā€œflyout menusā€ and as a result, things like mage portals, call pets/demons, and even rogue poisons are not working as intended while utilizing addons.

Spread the word to blizz to make this a known issue. No amount of addon updates can fix this problem. It’s a game side issue.

Edit: for typos and clarification reasons

I’d be happy just to see it acknowledged as a bug or oversight.
In the past, Blizzard has removed things from the API that were used for exploits. Hopefully, that’s not the case here.

Same issue here. Can’t use Call Pet on my hunter. Can’t Summon Demon on my warlock. Can’t Teleport or Portal on my mage and Can’t apply poisons on my rogue.

Also when allowing addons to use flyouts please also allow them to use Push and Hold Casting Blizzard. Not for macros. Just for abilities. It shouldn’t be an issue to drag Chaos Strike onto ElvUI or Bartender then press and hold it…

Not just affecting Bartender but ElvUI as well.

Is this getting fixed any time soon? -_-

Its been identified as a bug. Additional Ui changes are currently scheduled for phase 2 prepatch and DF release.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see this not be fixed until them as it’s not gamebreaking with the current work-around available.

I’m so glad I found this…thought I was going bugnuts.
