Pet attacks broken AGAIN?
Hopefully by "invoke" you mean you sent him a PM with a link to your post. I've done that before and it seems a very effective way of simultaneously bringing an issue to dev and player attention.

I hadn't been playing CoX as much in the past month, but I had been on enough with my fire/ff controller to love the new pet zoning feature.. even if it is still a little buggy.
So tonight I log onto my ice/storm controller for the first time in at least 2 months to go trick or treating. A little bit into battles I start getting the feeling that Jack isn't doing much damage. I start letting him take all the aggro to watch and this is what I see.
attack with Ice Sword
attack with Ice Sword
attack with Ice Sword
attack with Ice Sword
attack with Ice Sword
... at that point I finished off the target. I was so annoyed that I then just logged off.
I finally logged back on just hoping that it was a fluke. I knew I had seen him use other attacks so I wanted to test him again to get a better feel for what was happening. This is what the pattern seems to be.
When engaging enemies for the first time he will open with Ice Bolt, Freezing Touch and Greater Ice Sword for the first 'round' normally. However when he gets melee, and sort of forgets all his other powers and tends to only use Ice Sword.
While testing, in one particular battle I watched him use only Ice Sword, EIGHT times in a row. He wouldn't even use Ice Bolt when the enemy was running away from him. After running around like an idiot, he finally did use Ice Bolt and then Greater Ice Sword when he closed to melee for the last time.
I have no idea if this has been going on since i16 first went live or not. I wouldn't notice a difference on my fire controller because Imps only have one attack. Regardless the idea of having this bug back royally p*sses me off, especially since Pet Recharge Inheritance was supposed to be the reason for wonky pet attacks.
Castle, I invoke thee.
