These summons are targeting the nearest enemy you are in combat with, not your target. This is a serious issue in PVP as that often means pets get hit, or players you weren’t trying to hit. The only summon that does not do this is the Overlord, that actually goes to your target (likely a result of the recent hotfix to it).
Please fix this.
While we’re here, Bane of Havoc STILL doesn’t work with Wither. Can you guys pretend to care about other lock specs in PVP right now besides Aff like you have with mages who have received like 9 buffs to fire while Arcane and Frost are also in great positions? Jesus…

It’s super noticeable in dungeons like Dawnbreaker or Mists. In Dawn, they’ll hit the webbed dudes in the second area that you aren’t even targetting (not to mention they clearly aren’t targets you want to kill either). In Mists, on the second boss, they’ll often channel whatever Mistcaller clone is closest to you, which is also typically completely useless.
The targeting on the diabolist summons needs significant improvement.

+1. fix this crap. I would call it lazy design but its much worse. They could have just made the demons “assist” us like a real pet does, targeting our current target. but they somehow created this problem of it targeting the nearest target.

Yeah it’s the sole reason when I noticed those things don’t respond at all to the pet commands when close to other targets, and it’s random.
Its why I switched to soul harvester. Happens too many times and it got to the point where it kept reminding that the devs couldn’t think to force those spells to responds to the pet commands.
Unfortunately soul harvester share fate has it own issues of sometimes pulling whole dungeons worth of pacts where it can wipe your m+ groups. So take your poison.

At the very least, it would be super nice if the Diabolist summons didn’t aggro things at all.

This happens a lot in delves as well, frustrating, sometimes they despaw without doing their attack cause they got a weird pathfinder

Blizzard won’t fix it. They nerfed Hellcaller to s*@$ and then forgot about Diabolist.
That’s the main reason I run Soul Harvester in Delves, the Diabolist damage burst take aggro from my pet too often.
There’s a lot of bugs with lock talents this expansion, it’s like they rushed this out and let it go live with a million bugs
