BoT tanks no longer hold aggro

It seems like Bots are being treated like pets now. I play a rogue with a pally bot, a tank to hold aggro so I can backstab.

I logged on today and my Pally doesn't even try to keep aggro when I'm in melee range. I can move into melee range without attacking, and the mob will immediately turn to me and attack me.

Is this planning to be fixed later?

yeah i noticed that too, at first i thought my caster was doing way too much agro, but then i realized it was proximity agro just like with pets.

rogues/bards/rangers who use melee bot really gonna suffer now.

Question, do the rogue/monk bots now generate zero aggro as well?

no. the regardless who your bot is, the mob will instantly switch to attack you, if you step into melee range, and regardless of your actual agro.

It's a hate calculation "issue" and will be fixed soon with code update.
