Quoted from Warcraft Hunter's Union:

 

The latest hotfix coming out has a fix for the pet defensive stance issues:

Pet Defensive stance will no longer cause the pet to assist the player while a vanity pet is active.

There have been a lot of complaints about the pet stances acting wonky — and in particular the defensive stance that many hunters rely on as their primary pet stance behaving in ways it shouldn’t. In trying to figure out what was going on I was never able to replicate the issues — my defensive stance acted just like defensive stance, and my passive stance acted just like my passive stance, and my assist stance acted like I figured it would.

This hotfix lets me see why I couldn’t replicate it — apparently the issue only existed if you also had a vanity pet active (and I never do), which somehow got the code wires crossed making your pet’s defensive stance act like it was in assist stance.

What this doesn’t address is some issues people have been reported about passive stance also messing up, and a pet in passive stance actually going out and attacking targets on its own; however, perhaps that’s tied in with the same issue as the defensive fix — if you also had a vanity pet out your passive maybe sometimes behaved like assist? And if so, perhaps the same hotfix will address that.

But if in doubt, just dismiss that vanity pet! We’re hunters — we have real pets after all.
