I've only recently gotten into Ai's, but they are really proving to be useful, so I'm just curious as to what AI's are a necessity. Right now I have a smart AI (the one from korea with 44 rules), A firecounter AI, Icecounter AI, and an archer support AI that i modified for certain reactions after using mirage missile, lightning bolt, or firebolt.
My pets are: Borzoi, Siamese, Shire, and Eagle (though i tend to avoid using the latter two for combat)
Are there any I need/have use for?

I don't really use AI's. In multi-aggro dungeons I just suicide my pets by using them to attack the monsters that were aggroing me. You can also use pets to lure monsters to you to windmill them.
It looks like you have pretty good AI's. I'm not sure of what else you might need.

Pet Guardian v2.3
Nothing compares to that legendary AI.

Custom User Control, Best AI in the game.
Eventually, as you step up to dungeons like ciar adv, you will need to be able to pet swipe and I don't think any ai can do that.

I have heard of the guardian AI and have it saved for when mabi goes back online..it DOES seem very useful..oh , and kyreffer - for multi aggro distraction purposes magic counter AIs are excellent. I know of at least one person who swears by them and only uses his pets for the same reason you do.

Magic counter will keep one mob busy. When that mob aggros on the pet, your character is open to additional aggro.
Command mode while sending your pet around the world attacking left and right will distract more than one mob, with good control you can keep 3-4 mobs busy with your pet, and all the aggro off your character. AIs will never beat custom control.

^Yeah, having the "Skill Info" window open and commanding your pet is very useful and it lets you clear dungeon rooms a lot faster.

what do you mean by skill info? do you mean the skill window?
And there are things called hotkeys.
you can summon 1st to 10th pets using just hotkeys.
and you only need normal attack, which is shift + click, to do pet swipe. you really don't need pet smash.

On the other hand, pet swiping is mostly used after windmill and alongside intermediate magic. I've never needed it as an archer.
