While grinding out dailies, I've noticed that my pet will never Growl, even when he has enough focus unless Growl is the ONLY thing on autocast. This means no claw,bite, or even dash if he is to hold agro. Can we get this confirmed as a bug or will I have to macro all pet abilities?

I have noticed this as well... Either growl is not being cast or its generating 0 threat.


This is probably the 8th or so thread ive seen pertaining to this issue and still no comment or response Blizz. Probably to busy responding to important issues like weapons being too big or too small :)

I just want to know if its working as designed....being looked at...??

Same Problem...I Think Growl is broke :(

Aye, I have been having the same problem. Either like you said, Its not casting or its generating 0 threat...

Anyone tried using lower ranks of growl on their lvl 70 pets?

I have a level 31 hunter that does not seem to have this issue..or at leat its not as bad.

BUMP

my turn.....

BUMP

Knock Knock...is there anyone home at Blizz?

Cat hold no aggro

Um.......I don't know if anyone experiences the bug/bugs from the BFD Boss turtle as a Pet 1st Bug I noticed was the Armor jump that happens goes from 1700 or whatever normal armor its suppose to have to over 1.2-1.5 million armor if you don't believe me go tame it and see for yourself it may take a few minutes but it will happen has continued to happen I believe for the last several patches and now the other bug is that it is losing abilitys that it had or that are trained to it when this Armor bug Processes I just wanted to know if this is an intended ability?

Well I'm 12 and my level 2 Growl doesn't hold aggro at all.I have to wait until the target is at least 75% dead(yeah I tested it,both with my boar and my cat) or auto shot will pull aggro.

Also Growl is being resisted at least half the time now.Pets are a hunters lifeline,quit screwing us over.

This is a long standing bug.It has been known for a long time,but never addressed.

I figured as much its just another thing blizz just refuses to acknowledge or try to take care of I wonder if they have any relation G.W.B.

/bump

Can a blue confirm this as a bug or "working as intended"??

Please??

BUMP!!

Q u o t e:
Which quests/mobs are you encountering this issue with?
Some mobs are immune to growl and the pets will not autocast it in those situations.

This is especially true for the Erratic Sentries for the new Sunwell Dallies.

Hortus please see my post here in the bug forums:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5591269594&sid=1

I have done my tests on mobs not in the new area. These are mobs I have taken down time and time again with my boar with his charge and growl and it is not working. Others are saying ALL pet aggro is not working.

Please have the QA check it out.

we are aware the sentries are immune to growl, etc...
however since the patch i have only been checking out the new isle...and it seems is the case with every mob on new isle. example, the mobs that drop the mana residue for the daily. i waited for pet to get mob down to 67% health...after 3 auto-shots i pulled aggro.
It seems alot of hunters are experiencing issues with growl and charge.
every mob i fought on the new isle this was happening to.

I'm wondering if for some reason the immune to growl/charge has been perpetuated across ALL mobs............. =/

Hortus it's pretty simple.

Pre 2.4 - 70 Boar w/ highest level gore, charge, growl and bite generated 4800 threat

Post 2.4 - Same boar generates 1800 threat

These are on all target in all areas, so the immune to growl/taunt mobs aren't the issue.

Bumping for some kind of fix/helpful reply. Appreciate Hortus' reply, but this has just started happening since the patch and not with just the new content - is happening in old world & TBC content.
