I'm running into a pet problem, my pet will be sitting and if something agros me it attacks and as it attacks it continues to keep sitting down as it tries to fight the mob! and i also noticed agro or no agro the pet keeps trying to sit down in battle.. also there seems to be an issue with the pet text spamming if you hit it once, everyone was complaining about it all night in unrest.

I noticed a similar issue last night while fighting at the undead ruins in Qeynos Hills. My pet was not sitting down repeatedly, he was doing just fine. The Dread Corpses and Putrid Skeletons were exhibiting this behavior. It was weird, my pet was slashing away and the mob would keep sitting into a pile of bones and then pop back up again. This was observed AFTER the server reset at around 10 pm Eastern.
I should note though that not all skeleton type mobs were doing this, only a few of them. Decaying skeletons for example were fine. Some of the Putrid skeletons also appeared to be okay throughout the battle.

Okay, I just figured out how to reproduce this bug.

1) Order your pet to Sit Down
2) (While pet is still sitting) Order pet to attack a mob.

This will result in the pet sitting down in between swings. I don't know if it is actually sitting and therefore takes more damage from hits or if it's just a visual artifact.

This would explain why I saw some skeletons in Qeynos Hills sitting during a battle and others were not. The one's sitting were in a sitting state when my pet attacked them while the ones which did not sit were in a normal standing state.
