Best way to have pet get aggro
Hi -
I'm new to using pets in EQ. Say I sick my pet on a mob, and then it gets 2 adds, and then the pet dies right before I get another summoned and the mobs are all on me. What's the best way to quickly get the pet tanking all 3 again? I'm really quite a noob for pets so please spell it out for me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Pet taunt/aggro does not seem as strong as it was on Live.
In the scenario you describe, it is highly probable that you must either run or die (it sounds as if you have no crowd control and thus are a Mage). However, the process would consist of backing the pet off of one target and sicking it on another. Of course this would be complicated by the fact that the pet may change targets if you or he is hit by another mob. Bottom line - don't get into this scenario.

Dont forget, for the pet to be able to taunt the mob its attacking, it has to be atleast 1 level higher than the mob. Same way warrior taunt works.

Social aggro and pet aggro are both not classic atm, from what I can tell. When your pet dies, all aggro on the mob and also the social aggro on adds transfers to you (this is what happens when charm breaks, not 100% sure if pet death is same but it appears to be). Also, if any PC is in melee range while the pet has aggro, the PC will be hit instead of the pet automatically. These are changes from later expansions and havn't been fixed despite repeated requests (forum search bard charm, charm, or swarm kiting for background)

They broke pet aggro months and months ago, badly.
We've brought it to their attention dozens of times. You can send in a pet on a mob you have zero aggro on, sit, and the mob is now running at you and not your pet that just hit it. This is wrong. Everything else on top of that, pets don't generate proper aggro, don't hold aggro, or anything like they should. | ||
