They already /appear/ to have this, since traps, scatter shot and a variety of other class' cc will make a pet stop attacking...the new freeze shout must just be very buggy or poorly implemented in order to not work with the existing logic.

Yeah I'm sure wow's creators, the people who made wow, the folks who've spent thousands of hours in the creation of wow didn't already think of that...

...there is no way in hell they thought of that...

...no way...

...really...

They already have this. The problem is that the things that YOU consider CC, are not the things the GAME considers CC.

The game considers CC as an effect that removes control from a character AND breaks on damage. That is why your pet will continue to attack feared, frost novaed, Imp Wing Clipped, and Druid Rooted targets. Because even though all of those things "CC" a target at least to some degree, they do not break on damage, and therefore do not trigger the pets "Stop attacking this" flag.

They hoped it would just be as simple as removing the "Breaks on damage" portion, but they didn't realize that this would also cause the spell to no longer be viewed as CC by the games mechanics.

Furthermore, to those of you who think that you can control you pet so it's not that big a deal. It's likely much more problematic than that. There are other things in the game that have been changed to avoid CC, Avengers Shield and Summoned Elementals come to mind. Both of those would also shoot right through your trap and break it.

if (targetplayer.debuff()=frosttrap)
{
attack!=true
}



Sorry, I just had to.
