Since the patch my pet has been in "prowl" mode constantly...which means while I'm running somewhere he's taking his sweet time. I want it turned off...anyone know how?

Same problem.

I r click to deactivate it but after mounting up to another location a few times it reactivates itself. same with Cower. I don't want cower to be active either.

Hi Gailis,

Are you using addons? I would suggest resetting the game options to default and testing again. To reset your game options to default, please use the following steps. With the game at the login screen, click on the "Options" button in the lower right of the screen. A new popup will appear in the middle of the screen, click on the "Reset UI Settings" button, then click "Okay" and "Close". This will reset the games interface and temporary files to default. Once this has been done, try the game again.

This is the same with me.. on live and in Beta. Everytime I log back into the game, all the moves I turned off for my pet turn themselves back on.. pretty annoying.

The reset mentioned above should fix it. I had issues with my Hunter too with items I turned off, magically coming back on and a UI reset fixed them.

Holy ^&*( a blue post in the hunter forums?

I thought they forgot about this forum

Q u o t e:
Blue post saying that wing clip was not changed. The 30% wing clip is a mob ability.

Q u o t e:
Hunters are now considered mobs we arn't even considered player characters anymore.

it happens when you take a flight path anywhere. after the fp concludes, all the animals abilities are turned on.

What did you expect to get thier attention? Cries about how the Hunter class is broken? He's a forum rep, not a dev. Those cries were heard in the beta (and largely ignored.)

will it still happen after the forementioned fix?

last time they said to reset my UI and stuff it didnt fix anything, the patch a week later did. id hate to reset all my setting unnessicarily (spelling?).

Not really, it only happens to skills not currently on the pet action bar, and it also occurs after mounting.

it doesnt matter if you have addons, its a bug in the game

edit for clarity - this will happen no matter the number of addons running. it has been happening in the beta from the beginning too, has been reported several time and duplicated several times, but still not fixed.
