How to stop automatic taunt of Amber companion?

I think this is bug. But I can't find out instant solution for this also.
My playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.
I have [1Tough tank] [1StamSorc-DD] [1Necro-DD] [1Real Healer]
with [1Stam Blade].
But, I'm Tank main player. Recently I'm doing Healer.

By the way...Dungeon-Meshi(One of Famous Japanese fantasy story comic book) got finale...
Good-bye "King of Monster Eater".

Farewell Atsuko Tanaka...(-_-) I never forget epic acting for major Motoko Kusanagi.

    Do you mean that Amber is just getting aggro without a taunt ability? If yes, this applies broadly to all pets both targetable (including companions) and non-targetable (which is why certain encounters reset when a warden has a netch up). Otherwise, check your companion skills and make sure you don't have an ability with a taunt slotted for Amber?

    I didn't let Amber have taunt skill. No 1S1H puncture, just destruction staff only.
    I can't find out what is actually problem, but thanks for your advice.

    She could also be using her class healing skill if she has one equipped and grabbing healing aggro.

    So the Sorc pets control "Y+LMB" for attack and "Y+RMB" for heel does not work for companions? Would be smart with a similar system for companions I think.

    if you are doing less dmg than the companion, the enemy will gravitate towards attacking the companion over you as enemies attack the "highest threat" target usually

    if you personally have a taunt, then the enemy aggroing on the companion is not an issue

    im assuming the aggro on the companion is only being an issue because you are using a normal ranged weapon and the companion will try to open distance and dodge roll from the enemy

    if they have an ice staff they wont do this (and they dont have a taunt if you dont give them the first destro skill), but they still have the ranged attacks, they just wont dodge roll to get away from the enemy to get out of melee range

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    This will normally be the case at first encounter, when the player is melee, and the companion is ranged. The comparison is between “some” and “none yet”. You then need to actually taunt to change the enemy’s “mind” about who to attack. Or maybe stun, so they re-evaluate after.

    Doing less damage overall is also likely if you run a tank with a damage companion, but that is how you develop your tank skills, by getting the aggro back.
