PTAB (Pet Talent Abilities Button) is an addon that creates a button for activating the abilities pets get from the new pet talent system.

With the introduction of this new system, pets no longer are restricted to four active abilities and for all intents and purposes will always have more. In the most extreme case (a cat or spirit beast, which have both their unique family ability and the prowl ability, with all the talent abilities), this could reach 10 active abilities. However, the pet bar still can only hold four of those abilties.

This addon adds a button to your user interface that, based on the type of pet you have out, gives you access to the four non-speed-modifying abilities (meaning all but dash/dive/charge). Here's how it is intended to be used:

PET BAR ACTIVE ABILITY SLOTS: - Growl; - Cower; - Family Ability; - Speed-Modifying Ability (or if this is not chosen in the talent tree, Focus Dump)

• Note: For cats and spirit beasts, one of the latter two could be replaced with Prowl.

PTAB BUTTON:

Cunning Pets: (Default) - Wolverine Bite; (Shift) - Bullheaded; (Ctrl) - Roar of Recovery; (Alt) - Carrion Feeder

Ferocity Pets: (Default) - Rabid; (Shift) - Lick Your Wounds; (Ctrl) - Call of the Wild; (Alt) - Heart of the Phoenix

Tenacity Pets: (Default) - Taunt; (Shift) - Intervene; (Ctrl) - Roar of Sacrifice; (Alt) - Last Stand

NOTE: Intervene and Roar of Sacrifice will be used on your Focus and thus require one to be set.

ABILITY LEFT OUT: - Focus Dump

When you first install the addon, the button will be in the center of your screen. Right-click and drag to move it where you want. I recommend to the right of the pet bar, about centered horizontally on the screen.

Finally, this addon will also add the global variable "PetClass" to the interface for use in macros and other addons. For example:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(PetClass)

Typing this into chat (or creating a macro of it and using the macro) will add your pet's current talent "class" (Cunning/Ferocity/Tenacity) as a message to the chat frame (on your end only). Please note that the global variable is NOT in quotes.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to some issue with the default interface, abilities that are not on the pet bar sometimes will change autocast states without notice. Please be aware of this issue and be sure to check the abilities that are not on the pet bar every so often (on log-in and when switching pets is a good idea) to make sure that the autocasting is set how you want it.
