Um, why is my own Daedroth attacking me?

howdy folks,
so i went to do DC2 solo for the last lead that i need(ed, got it on the same run) with my magSorc.. to try and test the new Maw of the Infernal monster set. looks nice. anyways, i noticed during the run that the Daedroth was sometimes actually attacking me instead of enemies. so i captured my fight with everyone's favourite Grobull the Transmuted. here's the video -
https://youtu.be/vW05AstQf50
now, before anyone points out the obvious, i know that this boss reflects ST direct damage when it's in the air (still takes AoE damage). but i noticed the Daedroth attacking me before and captured this fight with that in mind. as you can see i am trying to attack the boss only (sometimes the adds get in the way) no matter if it's in the air or on the ground. and you can see that sometimes the Daedroth attacks the boss when it's in the air, sometimes when it's on the ground. and if the Daedroth attacking me was the result of that reflect mechanic it (the Daedroth) should always attack me when the boss is floating. but it's not, as you can see in the video. so what in the Oblivion was that?
for those that do not want to bother watching the whole video (it's almost 6 minutes long) here are some time stamps -
0:34 - no adds nearby, the Daedroth is clearly running after me and is trying to attack me
0:58 the Daedroth spawns and immediately goes after me
1:47 i am deliberately attacking the boss in the air, the Daedroth is attacking the boss
2:05 same as at 1:47
2:58 Daedroth attacks the boss in the air (me attacking the boss in the air as well)
3:48 same as 0:58 (Daedroth spanws and goes right after me)
4:48 again, the Daedroth spawns and tries to attack me
so from this it seems that it can not be the reflect mechanic. that mechanic reflects damage only anyways, so the Daedroth shoud not try to attack me. so why does it do that?
any and all input will be appreciated. also, it's kind of funny, Daedroth getting pi**ed off and going after the summoner instead of boss. had a laugh..

chieflioness✭✭Seems like your Daedroth is getting tired of being summoned in the midst of his afternoon nap.
Seriously though, such a weird thing to happen. I have no idea as to why that would happen, it has to be a bug?18 -

✭✭I swear I once read somewhere regarding this set that the Daedroth resents being summoned and will occasionally make that known. I just tried to find that, but I can’t locate where I read that. I just remember when I read that, I thought what a neat mechanic to work into that monster set! I haven’t yet gotten the set myself, but I really want it at some point.0 -

✭It's risky business summoning deadra, always done at ones own peril.
Okay this needs to be fixed but it's also kinda compliant with lore, you probably didn't take the right precautions when summoning.2 -

Lucky_jackalSoul ShrivenLooks like the Daedroth only attacks you when it spawns from you heavy attacking the boss in the air. I’m guessing grobull is somehow reflecting a mark that tells the Daedroth what to attack and then it picks you as it’s target.7

✭✭✭✭✭I'd suggest recording it happening during a fight that doesn't have a reflect mechanic. That way we can narrow down whether it's set behavior, intended or not, versus fight mechanics.5 -

will (try to) do. don't know when, as right now i am enjoying my Vamplar. vampire and magTemplar is a godmode. so no idea when i'll be back on my magSorc.. still, it was hilarious 1 -

✭That would indeed be awesome. Wear it in Maelstrom arena, and suddenly its racial identity kicks in at full force, and he switches sides and turns against you! Hail Daedra! LOLEdited by Raudgrani on June 2, 2020 9:58PM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Grobul reflects attacks onto the caster. Does this happen in fights without reflection mechanics too?
I could imagine this either being the pet's targetting being reflected onto you or you proccing the set against yourself with the damage you deal to yourself.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.0 -

AFAIK Grobull relfects damage only. so if you drop, say, Ballista (bow ult.) it will reflect the damage back to you, but the actual skill animation will not switch sides and start shooting at you. and i noticed the Daedroth trying to attack me before the Grobull fight, that was why i decided to record my next one (which was the Grobull). so if it was the reflect mechanic it should reflect the damage only, IMO, not the whole deal (Daedroth trying to chase me). don't know, will keep an eye on this and will try to record it if it happens again. not sure when, though, as i've mentioned i am not playing my magSorc. ATM, i was just testing the Maw of the Infernal "upgraded" set..Edited by mzprx on June 2, 2020 5:16PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I wonder if whatever "buff" a heavy attack puts on a target to make a pet attack it made it reflect that indicator to you b/c things like ele drain on the boss will bounce back to you on this fight.-- @xaraan --

Yeah, but it's possible you procced the monster set against yourself, since you are dealing damage to yourself.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.0 -
MerguezMan✭✭✭✭That is a great idea to make summons invasions stop in towns !
Make the summons attack their masters when in cities would be a nice feature 0 -

Tinolyn✭✭✭Reminds me of the time my Curse of Doom killed Ragnaros in WoW and spawned the Doomguard. Everybody was celebrating killing the fire dude and there's this hellmonster just running around smacking low-health raid members.
Good times.0
