I'm so glad I'm not the only one having this issue!
I'm currently leveling my level 10 necro in North Ro by agro/fear kiting sand scarabs and dune tarantulas. First I send in the pet (making sure he cons dark blue to me so that he'd have a chance to hold agro) and then cast Clinging Darkness, then Poison Bolt, then Fear, then sit down to med until Fear runs out, repeat.
Before the patch I hardly had to wait any time at all before casting Clinging Darkness; my pet would have enough agro so that I could get the chain of spells off before the angry bug would charge me. The way things are now, I have to wait until the mob is below 80% health at least before I do anything. Additionally, before, if my fear was resisted, I could kite in circles with pet taunt on and Jobeker would eventually be able to pull the mob off me. Now, if fear is resisted, I can run, but the pet will never get agro back and I'm toast once Clinging Darkness wears off.
Is my pet supposed to be so nerfed? It was more tactically interesting when I could agro kite in the case of a resisted fear or two.
