Warlock Demon pet problem?

[Ondioline]

Just a question.. I tried to start a human warlock yesterday. Got my imp, and… it just stood there. It wouldn’t attack when commanded to, it would follow (usually) but that’s about it. Sometimes when told to attack a little flame would start like it was about to shoot a bolt but then nothing.


I tried everything I could think of- aggressive, passive, defensive… Dismissing and re-summoning… Cleared the WDB and WTF folders.. deleted the character and started a new one but same thing. There was actually a server restart while I was playing too, and before and after that it didnt seem to make a difference.


I don’t plan to continue with the warlock for now so I’m not submitting to the bug tracker unless told to do so, just curious if this is a common problem, if there’s something I’m missing etc. (And curious if hunters have the same issue with their pets.) Also I’m on a Mac in case that’s the cause of weirdness like it is with a few other little things.


Thanks for the awesome server— Ond

Did you set the fireball to auto-cast?
The imp doesn't have a melee attack, so if you tell it to attack without having fireball on auto-cast it won't do anything (since it can't).

Go into your spellbook and go to your imp's spells. If there is not a moving yellow line around the icon for fireball right-click the fireball icon and this will toggle the fireball to auto-cast. Additionally you can right click the spell icon on your pet hotbar to toggle auto-cast on and off.
