Guild Wars 2

This started to happen since the first patch on March 16th. Even if you set a pet to “avoid combat,” targeting an enemy and attacking it will cause your pet to attack as well. I tried switching pets in/out of combat and stowed it, but it didn’t fix the issue. I’ve seen it working every now and then, but it’s been buggy more often than it’s not.

Please fix. It’s hard enough dealing with pets as they’ve been. I always keep my pet on passive. This bug is taking away the rest of what little control we have.

I concur with the need for a fix. Pulling is now an exercise in futility.

I can confirm as well that this is happening. Please fix it as soon as you can guys

This “Avoid Combat” Ranger bug is another casualty of the March 16th patch.

Anet, I mostly play WvW. And pets like the Red Moa, Blue Moa, Brown Bear, Fern Hound, Pink Pig and Siamoth I regularly keep in a state of “avoid combat” because their special abilities are beneficial to me/the player.

In WvW there’s often spontaneous combat with enemy players, and it’s essential to have as much control over your beast as possible. (It can be the difference between dying or surviving an encounter.) And now it’s harder to keep the above list of pets at my side to aid me in combat.

Please fix this bug that the March 16 patch created ASAP. Thank you!

Yup, already known issue which started with latest patch: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Bugs-from-16th-Patch-Compiled

Yes, this is a problem, mostly in pve and dungeons and some aspects of Pvp.
