<p>OK, we all have heard the complaints about pets that stop attacking for no apparent reason.</p><p>Well, here is an easily reproducable for me (usually happens it seems) method to demonstrate this behavior.</p><p>Take (1) Wizard.</p><p>Take (1) solo training dummy.</p><p>Have the wizard place training dummy.</p><p>Have the wizard step back out of melee range.</p><p>Have the wizard cast the spell Protoflame IV (Master) on the training dummy. Don't cast any other spells, just sit back and watch.</p><p>Before the spell expires,  quite often, but not always, the dumbfire pet Protoflame will stop attacking and walk back to the wizard! This situation is comical. If the bug does not happen, just keep recasting the Protoflame until it does. (Protoflame does so little damage that solo training dummy is not really in danger of dying.)</p><p>Please fix. This test case is simple enough that it might be suitable for debugging.</p><p>-Leucippus</p>

<p>There is an entire post on this behavior in the spells and abilities forum.  It's being ignored, as I imagine this too shall be.</p>
