i support this cause.

I understand the frustration, but let's not turn this thread into RnF

Is this a bug?
 

Found this interesting in the patch notes here:

"Fixed the way that NPCs were treating pets. They were accrediting more hate to pets than they should have." - June 29, 2001

That's actually fixing the previous patch. For a few days (weeks?), pets had insane aggro. That patch just reverted it back to normal aggro.

Patched on the 27th. Emergency patch on the 29th to fix the aggro problem introduced on the 27th.

edit: just so this isn't just me too-ing I appreciate the time you put into pulling that info together baalzy. I remember when mages would get yelled at in groups for not turning off pet taunt on live.

No idea why my post was met with such hostility, it's like you took it as a personal attack. No need to be rude and disrespectful. I meant nothing by it, just wanted to share my experience.

I appreciate all the hard work you guys do.

This needs attention.

Easiest fix seems to be to disallow taunt functionality on pets for raid encounter bosses. Unless, of course, this is a shared value with player classes, I can't see why this would not have been a better fix in the first place.

I think it's ridiculous that 55+ "root rotting" and charming are among the top on the list of desirability for soloing, and spots where this can be done are extremely limited. I fondly remember going from 55-60 in Skyfire on Live, which without pet taunt is an exercise in rebuff frustration.

Fix this please.

Bump cause this was almost off the first page and my newly-returned-to-p99 RL buddy wants to play his mage!

So H, want to discuss the adjustments that might be made regarding pet aggro? I understand you have a ton of stuff on your plate, but I'd imagine a broken class has high priority.
