Pet Health Bug (pre/post patch)

This has really began to bother me. I've talked to a few other hunters and I know its not just me.

Pet health is dropped to about 0.25 of overall health when I do any of the following actions:

- Hearth

- Use a portal

- Join or leave a BG

- Take a rez from a spirit healer in a BG

- 90% of the time I call my pet from the stable (oddly, 10% of the time my pet will be at full health)

 

This is really annoying to me, and hasn't just started recently.

Does this annoy anyone else? Why has Blizzard not taken the time to fix it?

It annoys the heck out of me, but not as much as some of the other pet bugs. The charge and dash bugs, pets getting stuck on certain terrain, etc…

Hopefully Blizzard does a pet pass and fixes these issues soon.

It drives me crazy too, it seems to happen any time I hit a loading screen. I second Gar on the terrain and dash bugs too, so annoying!

Yeah, the health bug is annoying. Hopefully it is fixed soon.

Also: after dismounting, my pet's health is sometimes under 50%, and it goes back up to 100% after a moment. This sets off the low pet health visual and audible warnings from Power Auras. Very irritating. I temporarily fixed this by reducing the health warning threshold to 35%, but this lower than I would like.

Yea, there are a lot of pet bugs right now. I hope we get a patch soon, and I would be shocked if we didn't as there appears to be quite a few bugs for us hunters right now. We just need to wait it out and inform them as much as we can about what is happening, in the meantime we can fill up our stables and enjoy being focused for once!

The worst part about the health bug is the fact that the low-health will stick if your pet is engaged in that split-second window. I had my pet blown up a few times in Ogrimmar Arena last season due to that glitch. I'd usually start matches in there stealthed w/ no pet because of not only the pet glitch on the platform, but also due to trying to avoid an early snare or CC.

In BGs your pet can get shredded if your attacker catches you while mounted. As soon as you dismount, your pet is extremely vulnerable if attacked. I really hope they get all of this pet business sorted out. :-\

I have found that if I immediately hit mend pet upon dismounting or loading in, about 75% of the time he will stay at full health, instead of him hitting low health about 90% of the time. Can't wait til they fix this one!

The other day, my corehound just started walking away. His name bar didn't disappear and his health stayed up he just started walking in the opposite direction and never stopped. I couldn't get him back until I died.

Hahaha, I know that sucks, but that just sounded funny Boba. It's like he got fed up and just decided to part ways with you. All of this pet stuff happening, there has got to be a patch coming soon.

icon_smile I totally agree. I was more mystified and amused than anything. Especially since he didn't run or glitch or anything. He just turned and was like PEACE. I actually watched him walk away as I was being chased by a bunch of Alli. I wish I could have had a video.

Yeah, I agree. Charge and Dash bugs are right up there with the health bug. It would be a lot more fun PvP'ing if my pet would get to my target before it dies. icon_razz
