Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed that since the Feature Pack update to the game where Pet AI was tweaked that pets will no longer attack “Neutral” enemies that do not flag red when damaged. This has to do with all cases including ordering the pet to attack, attacking with the pet set to “guard” and being damaged by the target in question.

For example, Risen Rotmouths and targets that function similarly to them. I’ve seen this with my Jaguar, Drake, Shark and Jellyfish and have seen it happen a number of times. Not every target functions similarly, however, as the pets will attack structures such as supplies crates and tents as well as neutral mobs that flag hostile when damaged.

Every time I have seen this happen it has been when I’m fighting a “Neutral” mob that doesn’t flag hostile, as mentioned earlier.

Pet’s also won’t attack certain objects like gates, etc.
