View Full Version : Sanctuary effects on pets

Our guild was raiding in The Gates yesterday, and we were getting ready for the pull on a named mob. I was in the main tank group, and there also happened to be a templar in the group, who threw Sanctuary on the group right before the pull. For those of you that don't know, Sanctuary is a lvl 55 Templar spell with the following description:<i>A group augmentation that prevents the group from being affected by control spells for a short duration. Control spells include any type of stun, root, stifle, pacify, and fear. This spell has a 1% chance to break every time damage is received.</i>My problem was that after sanctuary went up and the mob was pulled, my pet didn't seem to want to attack the monster. In fact, my pet didn't seem to be anywhere in sight. I turned to see that he was running willy-nilly around, despite my efforts to get him to attack. Note: This effect seemed to stop after Sanctuary dropped, a time lapse of 30 seconds.My theory is that, for some odd reason, Sanctuary is actually fearing the pet, since the pet seems to run in random directions around the group until the spell drops. Has anyone else noticed this and can confirm that the same thing happens with them? Perhaps it's something that I'm doing, but for the life of me, I can't imagine what would cause the pet to behave in such a way everytime Sanctuary is cast.

<span>As a lvl 55 templar, I have noticed the exact same thing, Sanctuary causes the pet to flee instead of attacking. </span><div></div>

Anyway I have had only experience with the tank pet so far, I dont know if it applies to scout pets too. <div></div>

the same thing happens to necros pets when an SK uses death march.  not sure what affects are on conjuror pets.

<DIV>Was happening to me every time last night with Aery Hunter.  I was in the Cazel instance....was freaking me out because I think my pet is running off to attack something it shouldn't.</DIV>
