Are Polar Lights Lore Pets Bugged ?

Hello, I just got Polar Lights as my Lore Pet. On tier 2 I noticed that the Borealis is not providing a constant Assault Buff. He turns on Assault then about 10 seconds later turns off Assault then turns it back on again after like another 10 seconds.

It is listed as a toggle under pet powers which means the pet is idiotically turning the toggle on and off rather than just leaving it on. This undermines the reason I chose Polar Light pets and weakens my character overall.


Are the Devs aware of this issue? Is it going to be fixed anytime soon or am I going to have to drop them as my Lore Pets?


Thanks

Most NPCs (including pets) do not have any toggles, they only have "click" powers. Maybe the Polar Lights' version of Assault is a clickie that works for a couple of seconds and then has to be refreshed?

It looks like that could be the case.

Isn't the enforcer version of assault an auto power?

However, NPCs in general don't use toggles the way players do. They never have. This issue isn't specific to the Polar Lights - Tsoo Sorcerers switch their Hurricane on and off, for example.

Plus, there's just the issue of the pet's Assault power being terrible (+7.5% damage?), so you should go for the Core pets instead

Yup, I'm dumb.
