Hi, so I noticed recently that if retrieve/coursing and it kills something before the duration ends it will still stay there and if you issue another command (rush dog) it will run toward the new target and just bug out without doing any damage while. Is this is a bug or is it intentional? O.o
Welcome to the Hunter class. We hope that you enjoy your stay.
In all seriousness though that’s just the AI being bad. That’s one of the worst problems with our class, nothing you can do about it except give IMC your feedback so they can fix it.
It’s kind of sad that they didn’t fix this issue during obt. Everyone knew it than as well… I’ve also noticed my pet doing the same thing. Another thing that my pet will do is a sort of “reset” after coursing. It will continue to go back to the death of a previous target and than go towards the new target. There is no animation in between this reset. One minute my pet will be at the new target, and than back to the original, now dead, target. I’ve noticed this same type of “yoyo” effect on my Sadhu when I use oob and astral body. I will use astral body and snap back. When I walk away from my current position, I will only get so far before being yanked back to my original starting point…? Making it really tough to enjoy this game when you have to keep changing channels, or dismissing and summoning your pet every 5 seconds, or not using any moves at all… Anyway, I guess we’re still in the tweak and fix phase?
Bump. I think OP was misunderstood. The AI surely sucks, but what OP means is that the pet stays in Coursing Mode for the whole skill duration (15 sec for coursing lv5) even if the monster is killed before that.
I’m inclined to think this is a bug, because the pet will try to use other skills but just keeps rubberband back to coursing position until the duration is gone. Even if it is intended, the pet should ignore other commands during that time (and preferably don’t spend my MP if I do issue commands).

dont think its intended it makes pet really hard to use especially on hunter 3 sometimes using hounding or pointing can break it out other times not pets are buggy and squishy as is this is another thing that makes it hard to use also letting us cancel out of growling when needed might be nice to lol
Yup that’s what I meant lol.
Anyway, I stopped using coursing outside of pvp, since coursing is rank 10 and goes through dispeller and plague doctor.
If you are in range and you use rush dog, it reset your pet Ai most of the time though.
