Game Mechanics: Pet not holding aggro

[Auzen]

Ok first off, I know there was another thread similarly named but it was closed with a redirect to another thread, and in that thread there was a mod saying that was the wrong place to post this info. So here goes:

On 2/18 I was fighting evil eyes in The Gorge of King Xorbb and my pet was able to hold aggro of the creature just fine. I would be sitting down when I told him to attack, and the creature would stay on him. I would nuke with the lvl 20 Bolt of Flame at around 70% and pet would still hold the mob (the fire pet is the pet im talking about, and the only one I will reference in this thread since it is the only one I use.) Occasionally I would nuke a little early and the mob would come charging at me, which is to be expected. But I would just let the pet hit the evil eye a couple times, then back up and pet would have it again.

Today I log in, and noticed for some reason when I was sitting down and sent my pet to attack ANYTHING, it would immediately charge towards me. So I would stand up and it would turn around and smack pet so I would sit down. The mob would instantly ignore my pet and bolt towards me again. Even if I waited until after the mob was below 50% life to sit down, all that damage being done by the pet, the mob would once again come directly after me. I tested it further by pulling a gorge minotaur with the lvl 8 Shock of Blades spell, which deals 35 damage. The minotaur would stay on me, through pet taunts and all, until it was dead. Not sure what got changed with the last patch, pets have lost all ability to hold any kind of aggro on a mob. Pretty much have put mages in a situation where soloing means standing up and watching your pet kill something or getting killed from casting 1 nuke.

Another thing I have noticed is on 2/18 my pet would occasionally swing with his offhand weapon and double attack with both his primary and offhand weapon, resulting in a quad attack. Today, it seems my pet has lost all ability to double attack. I tested this by giving my pet a summoned dagger in one hand, and a minotaur axe in the other so damage would display as slashing and piercing so I knew what hand he was swinging with. the pet swung with the offhand weapon 60-75% of the time roughly, and never once double attacked with the mainhand or offhand weapon. All this info is with the lvl 20 fire pet spell with the Torch of Alna focus item.

Thanks for your time and I hope I've included all the info necessary.
