Guild Wars 2

Several times in game I have noticed other players being chased by creatures making a beeline towards me when I have my pets out, as soon as the mobs get within range they promptly attack my pet, most of the time putting me in a bad spot, maybe I am already fighting 2 mobs and suddenly 3 more are there and away goes the player that just “dropped” them off! Anyone else experience this? It has gotten to the point that I keep the pet away until needed to prevent this. This happen no matter what “stance” my pet is in.

Aggro is partly damage, partly sight and very much partly distance…so yes if a player runs through your pet they could possibly deposit the mob on the pet. This is not a pet issue but just how they made aggro work in general.

This happens to me when exploring, especially with ranged enemies. A player runs past, his mob shoots, hits me and my pet instantly gains the aggressiveness of a horse from Skyrim. Off goes my pet, keeping me in combat till I realise and hit follow. That easy on my drake but with my raven out I just keep noobily wondering why my movement speed is so low lol.
