Siege of Boralus ship

[Applox]

Is there any way to work around the fact that our pets bug out on the ship in SoB? Doesnt seem like a fix is coming anytime soon anyway.

[Behunt]

I don't think they're gonna fix it, it's annoying.

[ryjkur]

I don't know why it's so hard to actually give pets some increased attack range or something. Even with 100% pet uptime BM is losing to lot of classes already. It's like dual wielders would occasionally drop their off hand and unable to attack with it.

I normally swap to mm for sob runs enough clustered packs to make barrage useful and on bosses its only a minor dps drop with my gear.

Pet pathing has always been an issue and i dont forsee a fix for it

[TOM_RUS]

Simple fix: pets should just teleport to target if there's pathing issues.

Ya I thought about that aswell, dunno how big of a difference it will make with traits and such. I mean if you are looking to push high keys its not going to work, imo.

If you have your pet on passive when you enter the last "phase" on the boat, and then walk up to the tentacle in the back of the ship and engage that tentacle first, your pet will then move normally. Weird way to avoid the issue, but it works everytime

I run between 8 and 11 on my hunter and i still manage to keep up at 373 ilvl and no BIS Mm traits but i can imagine as the key goes up the gap between the two spec will be rather large.

And with MM being so punishing for a misplay those who arent used to it could see the gap get even bigger

I reported this bug in week 1 and it's still a thing. Haha.

[TSLNight]

i just sigh everytime something like this happens, specially on the stairs down to blockade, my pet just cant seem to figure out how they work...

[salate]

Pet problem always was a thing during all xpacs. Atleast we can dismiss pet without any problem (used to be impossible if you dont see your pet if i recall).
This is really annoying, cant generate focus at all (as survival) or lose dps as BM :|

[Kulspruta]

Was reading somewhere to run Pet as passive and it would teleport to you when stuck. Worked last time I checked.

[DarkAviator]

I like to say Blizzard should force map developers to run their creations as a BM hunter.

[DotJun]

I dismiss my pet before going to the ship. Sucks, but they won’t fix the problem. [emoji22]

Very iffy.

Sometimes works, sometimes not. Works more often out of combat, rarely works in combat.

Does the pathing issue interfere with flying pets and warpstalkers?

[Feanoro]

The pet AI has always preferred to take the scenic route at the worst times. Lone Wolf is a lazy way out, but it at least grudgingly acknowledges there's a problem.

Respawning it and respawning it works. The 2-3 seconds of DPS loss sucks, but, eh.

But then pets could teleport to stuff that is intentionally unable to be attacked due to no path.

You'd need to have LoS on the thing at a minimum.

I'd say go with teleporting the pet to the pet's owner if there is a pathing issue. Less room for bugs/exploits/issues.

Having pet on passive is a must for that fight anyway, as your pet will swim off into the water, attack the boss and die otherwise when transitioning.

Lone Wolf isn't because of pet pathing problems.

Sure it's not. Blizz would never come up with a lazy solution.
