Which part?

For pets not beelining for targets until they're in range, lots of examples like the following:

But the pet
won't come engage until you get inside his "hearing" range,
wheter because you have hit /pet attack or because he
suddenly realizes something is attacking -you-

Of course, my nec doesn't have to worry about this, he just lets his
pet run down the mob, pet always waits until in range before attacking it
seems.

My elementals, using Guard Here have stopped
attacking everything unless I tell it to or until
something attacks me first. I think Verant has
changed this. My invis air elemental was set to
"guard here" when I went out looking for giant
skeletons. When I got back a Cyclops was standing
on my invis pet. Eventually it wandered off with
my pet sitting the contentedly until the skeleton
got in range (he had hit me earlier) and then
went beserk on the thing.
I'd be dead if the
elemental attacked the cyclops. I've used guard
here in Nejana and Guk. Similar response. He
doesn't twitch, even when something spawns right
next to him. Even non-invis elementals do this.
I'd suggest trying pet guard here again. Verant
has changed it. I'm very happy now...

(Actually that last post is a cool find because it documents the old behaviour of "/pet guard here", which was that the pet would guard a spot and attack everything that came in range.)

For being able to /assist a pet on a far off target, I'm referring to the post I quoted upthread from the RZ player.
