Thread: Does anyone have *any* pet that will execute a special or ranged attack in combat?
I have been using a giant crystal snake recently. Its range toggle attack works on command as long as it doesn't get too close and pulled into melee.
Problems i have found is that the range command doesn't toggle, just always says Range Attack mode ON and there is no reliable indicator that the pet is on range mode. If you call range again it says ON but seems to turn the range attack off(there appears to be no timer for this?). The icon for ranged sometimes appears over the pet display bar but it seems to appear randomly not when you call the ranged command. The snake will also use ranged attack if let to its own devices and at a distant.
Have not luck getting any specials to work and cannot train them either (just for info).
As to the specials, as far as I can tell no specials are working for me. Most reading this forum will have read this thread in which the devs claim this is unintended and will be fixed. There seemed to be some confusion about this by some posters.
I too have had my pets use range attacks. They seem to default to it starting then move to melee at close range.
What is weirder is that I have a few pets that do not have ranged attacks, but seem to be doing melee attacks at a distance and at the same time faceing me as they do it. Creepy to have a gurrek slashing at its master but wasteing a critter 10 meters directly behind it.

Just curious. Got a report of at least one pet that is doing specials, the Bloodseeker Mite Queen. Anyone who has one of these, does it use any specials in combat?
Or do you have another pet that executes specials or attacks from ranged? I'm aware most people aren't having any luck (it's still in the top 5 list) but I'm curious if only *most* pets are bugged.
Thanks!
