[this is coming from a mage, but i assume the mechanic to be the same for other pet classes/charmed pets]
So, before the patch:
If I had a pet up and mob1 attacked me via range/kos aggro, my pet would attack it. If my pet was still attacking mob1, and i told him to attack mob2, the pet would wait until he was done killing the mob1 to go attack mob2 (or in some cases, if mob1 would flee, he might attack mob2 if mob2 was closer in rage than the first mob. was great fun when this happened and a mob ran away and pulled a train.) (at first I thought "closer in range" but what probably happens is that the mob1 runs away and the mob2 out-aggros mob1 because it is still attacking/tuanting)
Now, post-patch:
if mob1 attacks me, pet starts attacking mob1, and i tell pet to attack mob2, he disregards mob1 and runs to attack mob2 unless mob1 out-aggros mob2.
I'm not sure which of the two are correct/classic, but I've noticed a change and wanted to post about it.
