Class Pets Stop Attacking

[Cranjis]

Anyone else get this bug? It seems I get it every time I play artificer, where after having my iron defender pet out for a period of time, it simply stops attacking/breaking things. It just goes over to enemies/breakables and stares at them, then moves on to stare at the next one if the thing is killed/broken. Anyone know how to prevent and/or fix this? I know these pets aren't useful fighting, I'm not even sure if the bug occurs with wolves or skeletons, but I like it when my iron defender goes on to break everything in the room so I don't have to worry about getting ransack.

Don't let them climb ladders! That is one way they do get bugged out and stop attacking. At least this is one thing you can do.

This can happen other times and seems to be known about. The pets are due for their own workout according to the devs, but I am not sure when that will be.

ladders yes, also active abilities. respec your pet with only passives, don't use social skills, box breaking, and so on.

these are considered the best advices to try to workaround the bugged AI.
btw they say some of the active abilities are safe, i forgot, you may try to troubleshoot the pet trying to spec and use just a couple at a time i guess.


to fix it you can dismiss and re-summon, but obviously it loses all the buffs.

I picked aggression or whatever its called for the dog, and I think as a Tiefling its bugged trying to imtimidate me.
