How the heck did they break our dog now?

Well, I decided that instead of retiring Denna because I got sick of being defiler, I would give mystic a try (again). I'm level 85 with 210 AA I think now. Slow going trying to level when you are deployed, let me tell you,,,

Anyway... I have noticed that DogDog will pull aggro all the time now. I keep him set to passive because I play on PvP and I don't want him forcing me into combat if a group is after me. Yet I will run through an area and mobs will hit me and go straight for him. Even if I have a ward on myself, they will go straight for him, and sometimes that pulls me into combat. Then he just stands there and gets beat on unless I tell him to attack. I have no hate transfers, and my hate mod is 0% where it is normally. The only buff I have on him is the HP/Power buff, aside from my regular group ones, and all the ones he can get from AA.

Anyone else having this issue? I have /bugged it, but from past experience, it could take awhile to get it fixed.

They didn't break him its just how he is designed. The mobs look at him like they do a tank (I think a zerker to be exact). That's why on a fight like hm sages you couldn't necessarily run him due to the tank switch (they fixed it so it now ignores pets). I actually see it as a good thing, more than once a mob was coming to kill me and went after him instead. Love dog dog, but better him than me.

Meh. I'm sure it has some advantages, but it is a pain. If they aren't changing that, then at least fix the forced combat.

Yeah mob really often focus on Dog, as example if i move a bit.Ans yes they jump at him. I was thinking it was due to low hps, mobs tend to attack the weakest in a group first. -- Just an hypohtesis --
