Lv 73 Polar Bear vs Timothy Elerimon

As you can see, my Lv 73 Polar Bear was unable to grab aggro off me in this fight. Watch the skills I used closely.

As for my build, I'm lvl 70 Fire / 73 AH.

My bear has 230% Aggro, 111 Dmg, 27 armor bypass, while I didn't even do much (I used Shrill Command once, then tried everything to have my bear take over, then died).

Went back to try out Hissy against him, but someone else had killed him already.

I don't know what you did to bear aggro, but whatever it was, it made it worse than it was before the patch.

General damage seems better, but not really as much as I'd have thought after the .. was it 20? or 30? in the patch notes.

The pet behavior problems that make AH incompatible and therefore unwanted in parties are still there. AH means you'll solo. This wouldn't be so bad if the skil wasn't so terrible :/

Waiting for the boss to respawn now to try out Hissy.

LOL, Hissy died in a few hits. Was dead when I killed the add.

RIP.

I've now played around a bit with Fire/AH and Timothy must be a fluke. Bear holds aggro pretty well, just not against that mob.

Also, snap aggro seems to not be implemented and AOE aggro not really be a thing, since things turn around to me once I attack.

Bear damage seems okay, cat damage still much too low. Bear is durable enough, cat can't make up for that with damage, because it's lackluster. If you don't want to buff cat damage, how about giving it a debuff a la "takes X more damage from all sources"?
