Companions Leaving Combat

Maldicious

Has anyone else noticed that companions are resetting and sheathing their weapons every time a summon dies or is refreshed by yourself or a party member? Including netches, blastbones, shades, etc.

Yes! I have a video of it somewhere in my archives. Necros have it especially bad with bastian as a tank.

I find both Mirri and Bastion routinely drop combat and return to me for a few seconds while tanking if I am grouped. This happens whether summons are in play or not and never happens when I'm solo.

This has been happening regularly for at least a month or two. When grouped, it is typical for my tank companion to drop for a few seconds from combat when holding a boss. Typically happens a couple times during each big boss fight. Very irritating because the boss is taunted at the time so naturally follows the companion - right to me and out of the killing zone.

it is definitely more noticeable while grouped, 2 people with 2 companions will cause them to drop combat a lot more often, but i do occasionally have it happen while solo as well (as mentioned usually on a necromancer)

this is why i enjoy playing the tank with a dps companion, if they drop combat it doesnt affect boss positioning lol

When it first started happening, they would reset the world boss too; that got partially fixed. Now they just reset themselves, losing aggro in the process, but it also resets their skills back to zero so they can go through the rounds again.
