I'm all for pets being controlled, however I do find some fault in either this post or the mechanics of how the pets work on here.

A mezzed mob should not wake up via a pet. You can tell your pet to attack a mezzed mob all day and it won't attack it. (I have tried this on here and it will not attack it, unless there is a bug I am unaware of...)

The only problem is if the pet is attacking a mob that is trying to be mezzed. If the pet casts a spell or lands a damaging attack just after being mezzed, it will wake it. This happens a lot and the pet has to be backed off...

Yes, I do play a pet class. I have played a pet class for ... 8 years or so on live, and I am pretty certain that if you tell a pet to attack a mezzed mob, it will not wake it up, nor will it randomly decide to attack a mob that wakes up on its own **unless** , the mob that has woken up goes for the pet (unlikely, unless the chanter wiped its memory and the pet is the closest in range). If the pet is attacked by the awoken mob while fighting the MA mob, the only way the pet would attack that mob is if it was either told to attack it, and it was low on health.

I do think there is some pet mechanics issues on here, as I have noticed it... but I don't think it is a human performance issue in all cases.

Ok, I'm sure many of you will want to attack me in this post... but I am only posting what I have seen to be true, and I am not attacking any enchanters, or etc. for their views on it.

hey it's one of those 85% of players that enchanters should avoid like I was talking about.

Yes, you cannot order a pet to attack a mezzed mob. No, your mob will not ignore mezzed mobs once it's already aggroed. Mob is pulled and hits you or your pet, gets mezzed, pet will attack it and break mez, sending that mob on the enchanter as soon as its first target is dead.

Simple solution: stop being stubborn and map Pet Attack to hotkey 1 and Pet Back Off to hotkey 2. Hit 2 and then 1 constantly, every 15 seconds or so no matter what you think is aggroed. Constantly refresh your pet's aggro list. If your pet breaks mez while you're apping to a raid guild that should pretty much be game over.
