I understand that summoned pets like Wild Imps, Regular Dogs, Tyrant and Grim Felguard can go to whatever your main target is going however, going through Torghast and some dungeons, Vilefiend is acting VERY slow. I have my pet to assist on, so it isnt passive and have my middle mouse button as pet attack. Between switching targets, my other demons are fine even the melee ones like Grim Felguard and Regular Dogs.
However, especially with target switching or when a mob dies the vilefiend hesitates to move. Or worse, if it the mob dies in mid animation of me summoning he cancels his leap animation only to start his leap animation again once I spam pet attack to the new target. Even then on regular target dummy, he just seems to jump much slower. He seems to have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to pet summons because he technically doesn’t have an instant charge like Grim Fel/Dogs or just start blasting like Danny Devito like our imps and Tyrant.
Is anyone else having issues with Vilefiend handling?

Oh hes always been like that.
I think it has to do something with the “spit” coding imo.
I feel though that before the “pet ai buff” he would at least charge and then act confused later or just munch on whatever is close to what died. Now if i target switch, mob dies or hell not switching at all he just has to think then swipe/bite/do Vilefiend things.
Sometimes they take a moment to switch but mine have been decently responsive… sometimes VF does VF things tho.
Dang i suppose so. Thanks for the response. It has been a bit since I used him. Usually use Soul Strike since he gets a charge which is nice for PvP. Question since I sorta have ya here… do you have Felguard Bladestorm on auto or do you have it keybound to use at the right time?
I keybind it, I don’t wanna break CC at the wrong time I also enjoy using it to pop stealth/etc with Felstorm/pet move.
Soulstrike used to be amazing when our pet used imp energy for pvp but now with Decon feeding off pet hp the VF is worth too much health % to pass up.

depends on how micromanagey you wanna get. it’s fine on auto but there are some downsides like potential cc breaks or not having it up for adds or what have you.
