Question - Mage pet pulling/tanking

[radraug]

I am used to pulling with an SK but am trying with a mage. The pulling itself works fine but the swarm pets are running out to beat on the mob and delaying pulling mobs back to the group. This may not even be a RGMercs setting but does something fix this? I have also noticed if I want the mage in pettank mode he stops dpsing entirely. Currently just running it in Fire mode with taunt on.

Alla lists a "/pet swarmleave" which might will cause all swarms to get lost.
Haven't tried myself yet, but might be worth a try.

Checked the dpg forum for swarm leave I found in the patch message from Septembre 2023
[CODE title="New swarm commands"]- Added the /swarm command with arguments "qattack", "attack", and "leave".
- - These commands have identical effects as the /pet qswarm, /pet swarm, and /pet swarmleave commands.[/CODE]

Pet attack and swarm attack shouldnt happen until the mob is in assist radius. Maybe you can tune that down? If its happening before the assist radius that would be a bug please let me know.

If you have existing swarm pets, the pets will defend you if anything hits you, so you will have to remove them before you go and pull anything.

I tried lowering assist range to minimum and the swarm pets still run out. To clarify the normal pet is working fine. I believe they also do this in the normal RGmercs though. If i put another mage in the group they keep their swarm pets in camp so it is only the puller's swarm. I am not getting hit with anything before they run out with the main pet to pull.
