Limited pets and agro, what connection (if any)?

[Wikfizb]

<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've noticed this twice so far, both times I was fighting named heroics that were low green.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was (and still am) lvl 38 in both cases, M2 pet defense buff, pet and limited pets at AD3, other spells AP4, AD1 or AD3.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>First case.  Couple days before LU18, soloing a lvl 28^^^ (windfeather)</DIV> <DIV>Fight was going well, but when my limited pets expired, windfeather agrod me and killed me.</DIV> <DIV>Got him on second attempt which I didnt change my strategy, so I just chalked it up to bad luck.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Second case. On day of LU 18, soloing a lvl 29^^^ named giant in nek forest (dont recall his actual name).</DIV> <DIV>Again, the fight was goign well until my limited pets expired and I promptly got agro and died.</DIV> <DIV>Did not attempt this one again since he was mearly a target of opportunity while traveling.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>((deaths could probably have been avoided had I remembered that I had root, but in times of danger, I still revert to my old eq1 mage instinct of run and pray))</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What I'm wondering is if when limited pets expire or die, they transfer the agro they gained to the caster, or if it was merely coincidence that I got agro exactly when they expired?  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wikfizbik - 38 Conjuror / 53 Jeweler</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

When any of your pets die or dissapear (either dumbfire or regular ones), they transfer any hate they had to you.  If you think you will be drawing aggro, pay close attention when your dumbfire pets are going to expire so you will know when to expect it. <div></div>

<P>/agree </P> <P>You can keep an eye on your maintained spell window bar for when the dumbfire pets are due to expire (also watch their "health" in the encounter) , then throw in a timely stun , petbackoff, and root / snare then kite ftw. This stun and root/slowdown gives the pet a good chance of picking up aggro again, especially your earth pet line.</P>

<DIV>Thanks for the replys and confirmation that this is indeed what is occuring and the suggestions on how to adjust for it.  Until the recent changes to master drops (still havnt got any, still trying <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />), I only attempted named mobs when grouped or working on quests so I was hardly ever in a situation to notice this occuring, and never realy pushed my soloing abilites.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wikfizbik - 38 Conjuror / 53 Jeweler</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
