The new SHD pet, 'Minion of Drendar Rk. II' doesn't taunt when asked to. (Presumably all ranks, I tested with rk. ii). Older SHD pets are still more than happy to taunt, so it must be an issue pertaining to the newer pet spell.
Bumping does not get a thread attention in the Bug Reports forum, get people to "like" the first post to get it in the Top Bugs section to get devs to look at it.
Yes and no. Threads receive more public visibility if they are bumped, increasing the chance of them attaining more likes, which in turn improves its chances of climbing up in the Top Bugs section.
This goes for Mage pets, sometimes they taunt, sometimes they don't. It's inconsistent and I can never tell when doing my normal DPS is going to grab aggro from him. It's making it really difficult to play normally as I would as a Mage. I've mentioned this in another thread as well, where I also don't think EM is working correctly. He's taking WAY more damage than he should be so I'm having to use Aegis spells and Second Wind Ward and Divine Intervention and just stuff I've NEVER needed with a good EM item in the past.
That would be a different issue. This is about Sk and shaman(at least) new pets not taunting AT ALL when taunt is selected. Summon the lower level one and you see attempts to taunt. Summon the new one and no attempts at all.
Can confirm on the new mage pets. Anything below 110 taunts as normal. Any new pets above 110 with taunt normally for no discernible amount of time, then no taunts at all for hours, then normal, etc.
This is just completely unacceptable. How the hell do things like this even happen when pets aren't being changed, just a new name attached to increased stats that follow a existing pattern <bong>. Maybe it's time for random employee "health checks"?
This needs fixed immediately so Drogba can impress me with his l33t pulling/pet tanking skills I've never seen elsewhere.
My mage's normal pets have the same issue. Against single mobs, the normal pet aggro is enough to mask the issue, but against multiple, it's an issue. OTOH, the Riotous Servant pet, taunts like normal
Further info.... My testing is that when you have a merc in group, no pet taunts from mage pet, although swarm pets appear fine. Without merc, the same pet taunts fine.
I'm not sure this is the same issue. The Sk and shaman pets do not taunt AT ALL with or without a merc in group.
Enchanter pet from ToV isn't taunting also, just so it's lumped in with whatever fix comes for so many of them not taunting at all.
