I have simular problem.
I specificly set Aggro:SmartAggroList to FALSE so my pets can hold agro while I am also in melee but this only works for a split second
I sic pet on mob- let pet beat on mob for a WHILE - i use special TEST mob who has 1mln hp but hist back for only liek 1 dmg.
Then i come into melee range - mob ignore me.
I KICK the mob for liek 5 dmg - and ob IMMIDIATLY turns to me and starts beating on me like in last 5 min my pet gained no hate what so ever
I take a step back - the mob turns back to pet. I step back in and hit mob once for like 10 dmg- and again mobs entire attention is on me.
In other words, if I set Aggro:SmartAggroList to TRUE -= mob is always on me. If ist false- even with a LOT of time to gain agro, procing agro spells, nuking etc - as soon as i hit the mob just once- i have all the attention.
I realy wish this get fixed
as a side quetsion- do pets EVER realy taunt? I click "taunt" and pet always replies- "taunting now". WHile on LIVE I belive pet was saying "taunting now" when you click once, and "no longer taunting" when you click again. (they were taunting by default) On Emu I don't see any diffirence.
