Pet freezes during combat

[Reliquae]

<p>I'm having a problem with the spirit companion pet being immobilized when the game enters combat mode.  He follows me fine outside combat, but the only way I can get it to attack is to lure a mob to where the pet is frozen in place after combat starts.  Then after the mobs/mobs are dead it immediately regains the ability to move returns to my side.  I have it flagged to follow me/protect me.  Even when I directly command it to attack when outside combat in freezes immediately and starts running in place.  It definately seems like a bug.  Is this a known or common problem?  Just wanted to see if there was a fix for this before doing a bug report, or however I would proceed in this game.  Thanks.</p>

<p>Is your pet set to ranged?  Try sending him at something and if he sticks, type /pet melee</p>
