Pet autocast errors

[lameo]

Recently the pet got bugged, and after they fix it, my pets wouldn't autocast. I've tried changing stance, toggling autocast off and on(in pet spellbook and pet action bar)

I manual cast it and sometime the autocast works but it randomly bugs out again.

1) Warlock: i.e. Imp(will shoot fireball and start meleeing the enemy)

2) Hunter: Pets sometimes stop randomly after manual cast & i had a couple times i mounted and i got sapped by a rogue in bg and my pet just got stucked there stationary. Can cast spells, can attack anything infront of him but will never move. Tried relogging, dismissing, resummoning, changing stance, spam follow/stay/attack. Abandoned and got a new pet but it happened once more.

PS: anyone encountered the same issue? If yes, i should probably post it in the bug section. If no, i don't really know what to do as the GM's wouldn't be able to reenact the bug.

PPS: GM's should sometimes take their time and come look for you / summon you if you have a problem and they see it personally rather than a short reply of "change stance of your pet". Seriously...

If your pet gets stacked at one place again u should get it killed and revive it, still sux ye but it's faster than retame.
I wish I knew what causes the bug at the 1st place but I don't.
About the auto attack bug, it's here since the update to 4.3. The best u can do for now is macro your Claw or Bite or w/e spell your pet has and just press the macro when u see the auto cast has stopped.
This is the Confirmed bug report about this btw - http://forum.wow-freakz.com/Multiple-Pets-auto-cast-abilityes-t198519.html

for locks I kinda binded /cast fireball to all of my spells(not all just immolate,inc and chaos bolt),same with ghoul /cast claw

[Starsene]

Put them on defensive stance,on passive they wont cast anything even if you order them to attack

[Rainek]

I dunno if it will work for all locks, but for mine i need to cast manually imp's firebolt twice. After that imp's autocasting it as it should be.

Thank guys, for the replies. It helped.

Theres another game breaking bug in arena regarding pets. Sighs.

my felhunter never seems to have a problem, but my imp requires me to have /cast fireball on my spells. and i use dk ghoul the same way. the only problem i have is many times my ghoul won't stun when i click my macro for it. i've tried many different macros with it =/

I think I saw this marked as Fixed but I haven't tested it yet. The problem was occuring when u press the stun while the Ghoul is still getting out from below the ground.

[nazty]

that might explain so much as my gnaw macro is also what summons my pet will have to test this

[Incarnate]

So I tested. Now u can't press the stun while pet is getting out from the ground, however the 1st stun after it goes out (cuz of remount or resummon w/e) doesn't provide the effect O.o. Can anyone test as well to confirm this?

[nazty]

i can say many times my stun "works" but doesn't actually stun lol, but right now im too tired to testing as to what causes it
