Game Mechanics: Pet Targeting NPCs

[Grozmok]

If mob B is rooted and attacks my pet (which has been told to attack mob A), that shouldn't cause my pet to switch targets though, right?

I have noticed that :
- IF I am tanking mob A and my pet is assisting...
- AND Mob B walks up and starts wacking pet...
- THEN The pet will turn and attack mob B

It is also a pain in the ass to keep pet on Mob A if Mob B has dotted the pet and Mob A is not attacking the pet.

Pets can and will be taunted by NPCs - so to answer your question: This will eventually cause your pet to switch targets. And that's classic.
