They've always done that. I can't remember what settings I used to get around the problem, but it might have been something along the lines of keeping them on passive and micro-managing them.

The only thing nuts about my bots in I8 so far is the increased speed...
The targeting for pets seem to work like a list, they do one mob at a time. If a previously dead mob rez he will get his old place in the list back, which is always at the top of the list. Thats why they will turn around immediatly if you dont issue a specific target for them.
They freak out from this sometimes but once they kill the mob it seems fine again.
And whats with the increased runspeed? Thought I had gotten speed buffed pets before without noticing it. Not saying I don't like it, not sure why exactly we got it though.

Lots of complaints about pets moving too slowly, apparently. Now people are complaining that they move too fast, so people can't run away quick and time their henchmen teleporting to them after a certain distance. XD

I don't mind the increased petspeed. Bots are still slower then the ninjas, I still can intercept them with a follow passive before they turn the corner and aggro a group of mobs they shouldn't. Never fast enough with the ninjas even before I8 so that is even getting worse.
Something that happended to me while fighting freaks. Was killing a few freaks (kinda quickly) everything was going fine when in the middle of a fight my bots run away keep re-doing orders to get them back but they kept trying to run away so i follow them and it turns out they were running back to a freak they killed that rez'd themself.
I've never seen them act like this before (with other baddies not just freaks) not sure if its a bug or WAI. Didn't have the problem for the rest of the mission.
Either way this is really annoying, something that really put me of playing my MM before I7 was that pet commands were very buggy in teams and this bug kinda has the same effect but solo.
Anyone else had this problem with bots or other pets?
