Pets are not despawning when their caster dies. The result is the Pet essentially becomes an NPC (like a guard) and if they get the killshot, whatever they were fighting poofs.

You mean PC pets?

Is this still an issue?

I think he speaks of NPC pets. I was wondering the same when I was killing mages in Najena the other night. When a NPC pet owner is killed his pet stays alive and kicking. I dont know if thats the way it should be though.

Edit: On a reread he prolly was talking about PCs ;)

I beleive this was resolved with one of the recent patches. I have not seen this as an issue in several weeks.

This isn't still an issue. This bug was the reason so many raid bosses were poofing after death without giving any loot (since the pets would get the killshots after they counted as NPC's), so if you haven't heard a flood of petitions regarding that, then you can be sure that this bug was fixed awhile ago.
