#402 [Hunter][Pets] Pet regeneration & trailing issues

Status: Awaiting review · Area: NPCs & World · Mobs & Creatures

Hunter pets on passive don't regenerate until fully back at your side and trail behind instead of catching up.

Current behavior

Currently, pet regeneration interacts strangely when set on passive mode. (Relation to passive mode is assumed, not fully confirmed) After fighting a mob and your pet starts returning to your side, the pet will not start regenerating until it is fully at your side. The pet will also not be able to catch up to the hunter. It trails behind, stopping and starting several feet behind the player until it has caught up fully with the hunter (by the hunter standing still and the pet catching up.) You can force your pet to return to your side by selecting "Move to" ability and then returning it to your side, at which point it will gain the increase speed-up movement.

Expected behavior

The pet regeneration ticks start applying the moment combat drops. The pet catches up with the player at the correct increased movement speed.

How to reproduce

Fight a mob.

Run away when the mob dies

Observe your pet not catching up, observe your pet not regenerating ANY health.
