Just want to put out here real quick playing some keys that in Siege of Boralus on the first boss when the boss gets bomb stunned/disoriented all of your DK pets swap target, doesn’t matter if you preramp them or summon them mid bomb stun they just change the target to different adds.
its especially annoying because your riders swap off the target and they are the only not pet controllable source of your damage and the highest dps cd you have at the same time.
So Bosses that get dissoriented or immune ( Siege first boss and Mists the Fae boss with the minigame) extremely lower your possible damage output.
You could pet attack back your abomb/ghouls and your main ghoul to the boss but as i said the riders are generally a major potion of your window and they loose the 50% amp aswell on the boss ontop of it.

Could you please fix that behavior in general that disorienting enemies dont let your pets swap off or best case do that and let all your pets/riders be controllable by petfollow/petattack etc in general.
as you can see the summoned riders esp the good ones are swapping off, its the exact same for siege of boralus. dunno what i can do besides giving a million times beta feedback posting in the forums and in discord to let this issue get finally fixed.
Just for context in the years i played DK, where the riders had their first showcase for us in Torghast as a Torghast power we could pickup to summon them. So how i think they work is they were made to tank for you first of all esp Mograine always swapped to the target off that damaged you/tried to taunt it just from the AI perspective. The rest did plenty of other stuff most of the time from memory.
So possible bugfixes for that would be as i asked for just normal petcontrol/behavior changes or make it completely nonsense and make them target always the correct one instantly when they are out(lol).
I’ve definitely caught my riders before running around aimlessly between targets. I wonder what the targeting AI actually is programmed to do.
Do the standard pet commands also reliably translate to the Riders as well?
no only your mainghoul/summoned ghouls/magus and your abomation, the riders completely ignore any kind of pet input
alo friends
pressed control+f and searched unholy in the hotfixes didnt find any so we refresh this
