about pets

Hi there, I have some questions about the pets. I fight today against the second boss. But my pet did nothing during the whole fight. I use the fire pet which you can get from the trader after figthing the first boss. Tried also to use some underlings, they even don't attack the boss. Ask me if this is a bug? In my opinion is the pet also a bit too passive would be nice to see some behavior options like attack enemys in range or defend player.

pets (which have the ability to attack) have an aggro system that checks to make sure you're in combat with an enemy and don't have an aggressive mode that makes them go out and attack things before they attack.

as for the 2nd boss thing pets and minions both have a bit of an issue attacking if the player character is constantly moving long distances since they prioritize trying to follow you over actually attacking, maybe that caused your embertail to not attack during the fight,
currently i think most people just run one of the buff pets instead because of these aggro/ai issues as well as just the damage of pets getting outscaled lategame. but i understand wishing for improvements to these pets i'd also like that.

Thank you yeah that maybe explains it, because I was moving a lot, it's no good idea not to move on the second boss ^^

yeah mobility is kinda important in quite a few fights, so that's one issue people have with attacking pets.
