^^^ This. It glitches every other time for me and I stay in place and get pasted by whichever mob decided that chasing me around was more fun than worrying about my pet stuck in his F2 animation some distance off.
I find that this is a problem mainly with the Risen. They ignore everything around, even a mob of friendly NPCs. It’s really frustrating trying to play with that in a class supposedly balanced around the pet. It’s impossible to flank or do any intelligent positioning. It’s annoying and just plain bad design.
