You may be unloading a bit early. As for the second question, the tank pets skills take time, particularly the group taunt/damage ones, which gives it the appearance of just standing there.<div></div>

What level are you? It's very difficult for the tank pet to get aggro quickly unless you have the Shockwave Achievement, or Blazing Presence at level 50.

I think maybe with the new Conjuror line the tank pet can't get aggro back from me, maybe it just looks like he is standing there. I will check the mezzes in CMM tonight. It could just be my issue, that is what I was trying to figure out. <BR>

<DIV>i have my pet's dmg going to a seperate tab, so when it looks like my pet is just standing there, i can check for sure.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>it's very possible that the zone geometry is what's causings problems, ever since they made it so we can't pull across zone, we also had issues w/ stairs etc (but at least our pets don't dance anymore....)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>so yea, did you try backing off and re sending the pet in from a diff position?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I've been having issues getting the tank pet to attack on pulls, I usually have to take the first hit before the protects kick in, but after that hes been doin fine.</DIV>

[Embret]

<DIV>It's a bug, one that's been around for a while.  It's really annoying to have to throw myself at a mob to get my pet to attack, although sometimes I can get the same result with Fiery Annihilation or the like.  It's especially troublesome in groups where I can't always maneuver to a better spot to get the pet to attack, so there goes the majority of my damage out the window and usually someone in the group pitching a fit at me for not doing my part.  Fine, then stop attacking on stairs....hehehe.</DIV> <DIV>sigh.....all in the name of making it so I can't solo because of someone's overactive sense of fair play.</DIV> <DIV>I picked a pet class on purpose and is the reason I bought the game...I get a bit frustrated with the issues that have been on-going for 6 months or more.  I know, I know some fanboi is going to jump in and claim it was perfectly thought out and adroitly executed and that I should just learn to deal with it....for that person I say.....byte me....hehehe.</DIV>

<P>If you have a diety pet that might be a problem also. Those have been causing many issues when you recast your main pet. </P> <P>Dunno - just an idea - I just know I've been having issues with those diety pets messing with the main.</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>Regarding Tank pet holding aggro and god pets......</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was duoing Archadechism instance with a warlock friend so it was a rare occasion that I had my tank pet out (M1).... I am avidly against how the god pets are interferring with our main, but on this occasion I was taking advantage of not having to rebuff main each time. I was just killing main when he got low on health and recasting.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is when I started to notice something.....even though it said he had all the buffs on him.....he was dropping alot quicker and not holding aggro aswell. So I dumped both god and main pets and recast.... after that tank pet held aggro better and didnt lose HP as quick.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In another thread regarding bubble someone said the buff, or icon was staying up even after cancelled...im wondering if this is related.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am just wondering whether those buffs are really being held on god pet at all....from what I could see in that instance they were not.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>anyone else able to do some tests to see what results they get when comparing a recast pet using the buffs stored on god pet and a complete recast and rebuff? </DIV>
