[Oathsworn Pit mech]_[First Archer boss]: How to separate wolf from archer?

I want to separate each of AoE. However, that wolf ignore taunt and keep following one of us.
Can't control at all. What is the best solution to deal with it? DD should destroy totem?

I’ve heard when wolf chases another player, its whoevers furthest. Dunno if that’s furthest from the man or the wolf, though. Just run away from the guy if the wolf is on you. Tank should re-taunt wolf once the wolf puts its head down.

thats the mechanic, when the wolf wants to go after someone, the one it goes after has to kite it until it stops chasing them

i dont think it relies on distance as it seemed fairly random to me, but it never went after the tank, always a dps or healer

tank just has to re-taunt it once it stops following

its very easy to see who its following as they get the "flower" targeting icon over them, if its you, you better be running lol

Grab the wolf as soon as it finishes its “scent” mechanic (which I believe is random as others have said) and hold them away from the archer. The archer can be range taunted but I’m not sure whether that’s even necessary since it seems they do their various attacks against everyone in the group anyway.

So conclusion is...

1, When wolf start to chase DD or Healer, then they have responsibility to control them.
If they are killed by wolf during this phase, then it' s not tank's fault.

2, After stop wolf following mech, then tank's responsibility. Is it right?

correct

they have to pay attention if the wolf is targeting them, because it cannot be taunted during this time

after the mechanic, the tank needs to re-taunt it to get aggro again

Correct, although the DD or healer doesn’t even need to control them, as the wolf will not attack anyone else during this phase, but simply get away. It’s worth noting that the wolf’s speed is constant during this phase, so as a DD, I found it easiest to run to the opposite side and then just watch to make sure they came out of it well before reaching me. Note too that due to the wolf’s melee range or to hitbox size, the wolf can do the usually lethal attack when they appear to yet be several steps away.
