Major threat issues - Its the new bestial wrath glyph!

Unread post by Aquillian »

Is anyone else having major issues with their tenacity pets not generating threat? It seems completely random - sometimes my pet holds aggro fine. But sometimes I can feign, misdirect, kill command and blink strike and then do nothing but cobra/a few arcanes and pull aggro over and over. It's driving me crazy! :s This is with a tenacity specced pet, as beast mastery, with growl turned on.

EDIT! I figured it out. It's the new bestial wrath glyph. When you use bestial wrath with this glyph in, everything aggro'd to your pet ignores it as if it died. =|

No, I have had absolutely no issue with threat since update, all three pet types are keeping it wonderfully for me at least

Weird. I've seen some people saying that, and some on the forums saying they're having the trouble I am. I wonder if there's something in particular that's causing it... what weapon are you using? I am a raid finder Vishanka.

I have spiky issues similar on my level 65 alt: Sometimes the pet just refuses to cast growl even though it's more than capable of doing so.

I wasn't having this issue on beta, either. Is growl on the GCD?

Pets in general are having both kinds of agro issues, not having agro when they should and getting it when they shouldn't. Dire Beast for me will randomly taunt and a Warlock in our raid was having issues with her pet getting agro when it wasn't taunting. I haven't soloed or quested yet this patch but I will test things out with Spudgy my Beetle. :mrgreen:

Using it triggers the GCD for other abilities - so I think it is. Maybe that has something to do with it; it's just not going off often enough?

Hrm, thanks for the feedback Rawr x.X I did a full clear of molten core last night and it seemed totally random whether or not my pet held aggro on things.

Pet taunts need to be taken off a GCD, player taunts aren't so why would it make sense to put pet taunts on one? :mrgreen:

Well, maybe not. However, growl and thunderstomp share a cooldown now it seems...? Did they always do that?

I figured it out. It's the new bestial wrath glyph. When you use bestial wrath with this glyph in, everything aggro'd to your pet ignores it as if it died. =|

Good question! lol. I've tested it a few times now though and, sure enough, that's the culprit. In my case anyway.

That would explain why my pet was the only one in my raid last night to not constantly pull the boss. We wiped 9 times on heroic zonozz because the locks pet kept taking aggro.
