"Hidden" Pet Taunt?
Has anyone noticed in 5-mans their pet doing normal pet threat, and then if someone other than the tank has aggro on a mob, the pet's aggro suddenly spikes and it can hold the mob (growl off) vs multiple dps?
I made a more detailed post here:
-Pet Threat Spike Post-
Maybe it's something simple that everyone but me knows about, but if not I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced it

Re: "Hidden" Pet Taunt?
I've been running a lot of instances on my new lowbie hunter (She's level 37 right now), and frequently I'll have the tank say something along the lines of 'Turn growl off' and I reply 'It's been off the entire time'. And it's as you've said....my pet doesn't hold aggro over the tank generally, but for quick bursts it will seem like my pet's aggro goes through the roof, especially if it's on a mob the tank isn't holding right then.

My BM hunter, when he pops everything and sends in his ferocity pet, with growl off, sometimes sees the pet just about pull off the tank (or on less geared tanks, pulls off). Just because of that initial burst.

This will not end well.Acherontia wrote:...For science?
But ok. I haven't watched it really close myself.
Could you tell me if the pet has the charge ability? I'm wanting to say that could be it somehow.

I'm wondering if the Defensive 'stance' lets them do this, but nowhere have I read about this being a known 'perk' of the stance

Mmk. Yeah, if it's mid fight, my theories are shot. It could be anything, hehe.Acherontia wrote:Yup, he does have Charge Mind you the threat spikes are invariably mid-fight on large pulls where the tank loses something to say a healer, but if you're suspecting a Charge-talented-related bug or something, yes he has the talent.

Re: "Hidden" Pet Taunt?
Hard to say really. If it was one of the easier heroics (IE VH) it's certainly possible, if everyone in the group held off DPS to not pull off, and everyone was decked out in full token gear.Tårnfalk wrote:Wonder if my cutiepie could accually tank a heroic??

Re: "Hidden" Pet Taunt?
What type of creature is he? Many pets have an aoe or radius attack that will aggro nearby mobs.Mintmazzo wrote:Hmm, I've noticed something similar with my Tenacity pet. He will aggro neutral NPCs just by being near them. I think it has to do with his taunt, but I am not sure. Dunno if this is the same thing you guys are mentioning or not.
