Both. If you are on Defensive, they'll attack anything that attacks you or your pets. Even non-Primary pets like Seeker Drones.

However I noticed that if the enemy keeps missing for about 10 seconds without connecting (or is held that long) henchmen in defensive stance wont attack it without being ordered. It's like they stop recieving "threat" notification because the enemy isn't (effectively) fighting back.

The "held" part is part of their threat assignment AI as I understand. They try to go after whatever is unmezzed first. The same way that if you get slept, especially on a team the enemy will usually attack someone else (and avoid breaking the sleep).

Yeah, but they don't attack an enemy without orders if it's the ONLY one in the fight, and got mezzed. Especially if it's been 10 seconds since that enemy hit anything.

Ok great, thanks for the information guys =D
I understand how it works, I am just curious what determines if your pets retaliate: the mob attacking you or the mob hitting you. I was thinking of trying a defensive build to tankermind with, but wasn't sure which triggers the pets to react. I've had mobs miss me before while in BG mode and the pets just sit there. Anyone know offhand?
