I play BM hunter PvP (don’t ask questions, i like pain), and I’ve noticed issues with the secondary pet from the Animal Companion talent, so I’ll do my best to describe this and follow it up with some examples of how this breaks the flow of my (already crippled just by playing this spec) PvP experience
I play with my pet on passive, with petattack macros with most of my offensive spells, and separate petfollow keybind when I want to stop DPS and drop combat. However, pressing petfollow DOES return both of my pets to me, but 2 seconds later I see my secondary pet run towards the last target and engage in combat without a single reason, or any petattack button pressed in the meantime (my primary pet stays with me and does not engage in combat untill I press another offensive skill, as it should be). This happens 100 out of 100 times I’ve tested this, both on training dummies, BGs, Arenas, Dungeons, Raids, open world, whatever. In PvP this is a mayor problem because I love to use Shadowmeld or Feign Death to drop combat and go into Camo when I’m low health, but since my secondary pet appearently has rabies and decides to zugzug the last player I was targeting, I either get thrown right back into combat so I cannot press Camo, or my Camo breaks after 2 seconds, completely wasting the cooldown.
Not to mention the added pain when the player my secondary pet is glued to desices to move far away from me, forsing my secondary pet to make a whole pilgrimage to another target when I actually need him to engage
Sometimes if the player runs away in a BG for example, even tough I cannot see him anymore and I’m alone, I cannot use my mount because my secondary pet is keeping me stuck in combat on the other side of the BG.
We have enough trouble with pet AI on maps like Temple of Kotmogu, this is just pure pain to think about and manage constantly, and the only way I’ve found to make the secondary pet come back and follow me like my primary pet does, is by SPAMMING petfollow (not just pressing it again, but I need to spam the keybind 3-4 times for my pet to come to his senses)
This has been an issue since the expansion LAUNCH, and I cannot belive this is not adressed yet on the 3rd reset of the season
Test it out for yoursleves if you don’t believe me, and Blizzard pls fix k tnx bye
