Hunter Pets have been made newly intelligent (artificially at least). And we thought attacking from behind was pretty impressive already.<_<
They still behave as they always have when Aggressive and Passive, but when Defensive any shot by their hunter owner will send them scampering after the target. This makes Passive stance pretty much the only option during instances.
Also, pets are so intelligent that every time the hunter enters a portal (into an instance, or perhaps the portals in Shattrath City), the Cower skill is automatically autocasted on and sharing Growl's cooldown also (which is another bug anyway). Hilarity ensues when my new sporebat even refuses to autocast its special, Spore Cloud. "If you're such a tough guy, why don't you tank for both of us?" is my new pet's response to this disobedience.
