How to have enemies attack you over pal?

[Clumsybeast]

Like i am level 48 now, and i still cannot understand why this keeps happening, and how to change it. I will attack an enemy, or other Pal, and they completely ignore my Pal, and attack me only.. Its getting very frustrating. Almost no point in having a pal at this point.

About 3 out of 4 attacks will be directed towards you in most cases, that´s just how it is currently. You can remedy this in open areas with distance, I had to when I fought Paladius and his dark twin.

Sometimes they will fight your pals for longer periods but more often than not you are the target, there is no taunt in this game.

mainly an problem of how the enemys handle agro even if u dont attack at all i´m sometimes the only target by the enemy.Guess they will fix that somewhere in the future.

Topic title is backwards from the apparent intent, but... yeah, the player character appears to always be the priority target, even when your active Pal is an obvious and serious threat like e.g. a hard-to-miss Jormuntide.

In dungeons, I've sometimes managed to avoid that by ducking into the previous room to break contact, but even then enemies will sometimes insist on following me.

It's not entirely unreasonable for e.g. tower bosses to focus the player, because they'd (1) fully understand that the Pals are under your control, and (2) presumably have Pal balls ready etc. to try to capture your Pal once you're no longer controlling it. For wild Pals to focus you even when your Pal is the only one even attacking them, is more questionable.
