Issue with rats standing around looking dumb?

[gr8scott]

<DIV>Hey all,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was wondering if anyone else is have the same problem with Plague of Rats that I am.  I have the adept 3 version, so I get a bloated and 2 other rats.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway, this tends to happen when I am soloing a ^^ mob (I think it is because the time it takes to kill these).  I usually end up kiting these mobs and towards the end of the kite, the rats act very strange.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Many times one, two, or sometimes all three rats drop aggro with the target and run back to me!  They don't attack me, but it is more like they got a drop aggro and follow master command sent to them.  It is very disconcerting when you are desperately trying to kill the bad guy and you have 3 rats following you around doing nothing but cleaning their whiskers!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone else have this issue?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Greatscott</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ps It likely doesn't matter, but this is happening in Everfrost taking on bitterwind explorers....</DIV>

<DIV>Yeah this happens to me when I kite too.  Seems every fight at least one or two, if not all 3 swarm pets lose interest in the mob and decide to follow me around instead.  I also notice this happening to my RT too, but at least I can send him back in if I notice a lack of his hits in the combat window. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Not sure if this is caused by the terrain where I am kiting or what, but Im not going to complain because they are still doing pretty decent damage for part of the fight.  Sure I wish they would last the whole 2 min (or encounter whichever is shorter), but it doesnt make kiting not viable - just take a little longer than it could.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If anyone knows a way to get the dogs/rats to retarget the MoB without having to recast them, or a way to avoid having them stop attacking, I would be glad to hear it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Is this only occurring in EF?   I've noticed lots of strange pathing behavior in general while in that zone.

<DIV>Have seen it happen many times on diff mobs in multiple zones.  Plus it also happens with the dogs, so its not the rats in paticular.</DIV>

<DIV>I always get the same problem when doing Terrors, in Frost.</DIV> <DIV>Before, i was doing Leopards/Numbfoots, and there i didnt have this issue. (then again, i think that was before the last update)</DIV>
