Pet drawing aggro

[neoterr]

I'm a level 21 necro with Summon pet adept III.I rolled a necro to compare with my conjuror..anywho..I send the necro pet after an aggro mob, past other mobs who aggro, and he doesn't draw aggro from them?Is this new? A bug? My conjuror pet get's aggro from allaggro mobs.ThanksEdit: It seems that I use Fire Shield and the like on my conjuror, which draws aggro.So the question remains? Isn't this a bit improper?<p>Message Edited by neoterrar on <span class=date_text>12-31-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:27 AM</span>

It is correct. The pet doesn't draw aggro by passing near mobs. Given how unpredictable the pet's movement is, it would be a real pain if it were otherwise.<div></div>

However, once he attacks a mob you send him into, he will attack and thus perform a hostile action. What you might be seeing is at low levels very few mobs are social, and thus they wont attack your pet even if he is near them, which will allow you to back him off and bring the mobs to you. At higher levels mobs begin to be more social and they will attack your pet if he begins attacking a nearby mob. And fireshield doesn't draw aggro from mobs your pet runs by, nor will it draw aggro off non social mobs. The thing this, some mobs are social and some arent. <div></div>

Never thought of pet pathing and the like, does make more sense. Thanks for the info.
