Correct... sort of.

This is probably the worst example but let's say you send your pet to attack and your pet misses it's first couple swings and you sit down. Your on the hate list by virtue of your pet being in agro range and since sitting cause more agro than a missed swing the mob will come after you.

Now combine that with the changes that they are working with pets generating a lower percentage of agro than players.

Don't get me wrong, I realize that things are a little borked.

But I am still seeing mages pull with their level 1 nuke and sending the pet to attack before the mage gets hit and it works!. In fact I saw this yesterday, multiple times. This was a fire pet not an earth pet. Had to be the level 44 pet spell.
