Hunters run around with their pets on Aggressive now?


At most I use it in PvP, never once have I seen it necessary to have it in Aggro mode in PvE.


We shouldn't have to summon/dismiss the thing over and over to avoid it taking the 'long route'. If I'm forced to dismiss it, at least let me do so without LOS on it or make dismissal instant cast. That alone would go a long way to avoid the random pet pathing in certain areas.



I may have had pet on aggressive in PvE for a few special circumstances, but I don't remember it.


Would never to be on aggressive while traveling through an instance. Or in a normal instance. Or in a group.


That's just incredibly stupid. In a group, norm would be, growl off, passive on.


Edit - I should add, I've never, ever seen a warlock or hunter in a group with pet aggressive on. Ever. Let alone have them wipe the group.

I use my pet on aggressive on ocassion. If you have a fight where there is little or no chance you will aggro anything that not going to be killed anyway and a lot of the mobs are just little trashy crap ... aggressive can help clean up crap in a hurry. Nothing is more efficient than the computer dukeing it out with the computer.


I will get you in trouble if you forget to to take it off aggressive.


What irks me a little is people that complain about pets being on defensive. To the best of my knowledge, a pet on defensive will not attack anything that dosen't attack it, the hunter or someone in the hunters party. If unwanted mobs attack the party and the pet jumps it, its because someone at the keyboard aggroed it, not because the pet did.

Can you just skip the obvious tips and just have one big one that says, Don't be stupid?

Most of the tips I see are just asking people to not be stupid.

Stupid tip is stupid. There's a bug involved with pets that causes them to randomly attack mobs you weren't in combat with even when your pet isn't in aggressive.
