Guild Wars 2

before patch i always attack at 1500 range with longbow and mob always attack pet first(even when pet is on the way to mob)

post patch this is not the case anymore.. my pet is outmanuevered by the mob even when my pet is directly in front of said mob and the mob comes directly to me,

also when before patch update the mob will attack my oncoming pet but post patch my pet walks up to the mob while i attack at a distance and the mob simply ignores pet and comes to me. Is this intended mob ai change? or pet is just stupid now?

It doesn’t sound like your pet is doing anything different, so I don’t understand how it could be related to your pet’s behavior.

oh were you perhaps looking to start an arguement on my use of the word “behaviour” ?

perhaps i could enlighten you by starting off a list of things wrong with my pets behavior compared to pre-patch:

My pet always ENGAGED the mob as it was walking in the direction of targeted mob while i was sniping away at a distance/ post-patch pet has a delay to start attacking and get mobs attention, mob then ignores pet and goes for me.

My pet always FOLLOWS the mob when it is being ignored when it is still at a distance on its way towards me/ post-patch, my pet follows the mob but does not start attacking

There you have it! Two SOLID reasons that justified and shows you the problem with my pets “behavior”

The only difference I saw in pre- and post-patch in your original post was that the mob you were attacking is now ignoring your pet when before it would stick to your pet.

In your follow-up you have made it more clear that your pet is not even hitting the mob.

Please look at my post history. I’m not looking to start an argument with you or anyone else.

If you wish to have people help you, it would behoove you to use less aggressive wording.

I have personally not noticed any differences in how my pets behave. If the mob sticks to them, they continue to attack it. If it runs past them, they nip at its heals (as best as a Ranger pet can nip at a moving target >_> ).

My Mesmer’s sword clones (another melee AI) have not appeared to have any trouble either.

That being said, this patch seems to have broken several things unrelated to the various aspects mentioned in the patch notes, so it is possible.

What pet(s) are you using?
Where are you fighting?
What are you fighting?
Does your target have any movespeed enhancements?
Does your pet have any movespeed enhancements?

Also, are you capable of making a recording of the issue? Any time you can recreate the issue and make a recording of it, that is very beneficial.
