Pets don't hold hate like they should: Copious amounts of EVIDENCE
Decided to make this a new thread to draw attention to the insane amount of research I just did. We all know that pet taunt is weak on p99. We've all seen 1 spell casts taking our pets 5-6 rounds of attacks just to pull hate off us. Here is a giant list from casterrealms strategy guides which all backup what many of us remember. The simple fact that pets were hate monsters and it actually took some effort to get hate OFF of your pet.

Please allow this Classic evidence from Mage's Compendium as well.

It shows two things: Pets have snap aggro, as the Mage can pull with a DD and have the pet instantly taunt it off, and two, that Mage Pets have such fantastic aggro that PCs can beat up on a mob and the mob will concentrate on ol' Jabober instead. Quote:
All of this is impossible on P99 as pet taunt isn't worth a damn. | ||||

if pet taunt worked, this server would change substantially. no more need for tanks, i shudder at the thought *shudder*
iirc pet taunt being viable is the reason why shamans/sks get low level pets.. they are kinda useless as the game is now

Wasn't this changed when Sky bosses were killed by 30+ pets?

Nilbogs rule of 4 (Even if it's not classic, but it also could be classic) would solve this issue and while not gimping pets in low-man situations.
