That was one of the depressing things I noticed about the Earth mage pet on the server. That pet on old retail would ALWAYS cast root as its first action if it was off of cooldown, and would be summoned with it prepped and ready as its first action available if told to attack. While mages don't get any crowd control options, it could be used as a ghetto method for breaking certain camps (making spider nets unnecessary for that use).
Here, nope. The other issue I have with pet classes in general is how often NPC mobs hit for max damage in comparison to retail. Pets largely don't feel as robust in comparison to Kunark / Velious era in taking camps on.
