SMNs, Contagion, and You

[RinchanNau]

I notice that sometimes my pet will not switch to my current target after the target they are attacking dies unless I specifically press obey/sic again on my current target. Is this the way it is supposed to be? I only switched to SMN rather recently, and I see this sometimes happening and sometimes not.

Egis shouldn't , should auto attack when aggroed on normal. Choco companions don't though I think.

Your answer isn't clear to me. Please explain.

Here is a specific example I can recall. Ramuh ex. After the add phase my pet often (but not always) WILL NOT start attacking Ramuh again after the adds are dead unless I manually command it to. It'll just sit there as if I had put it on steady.

Not a huge deal... Just seems odd to me.

Egis should be auto attacking anything that aggros you by default, unless you change their stance. Unless mines glitched this whole time? XD and For some reason Chocobo companions won't do this until u actually do an action on the monster.

Got what you mean now.

Well, I guess mine is glitched sometimes. Because I've noticed it on other encounters too. That was just the most recent specific example I could think of. Sometimes it just won't attack while on 'obey' unless I command it to again. Not entirely sure why. Sometimes it appears to be after phase changes? Maybe?

I recall this happening once or twice during t9 golems too... Maybe sometimes it's after I command it to attack a specific target, and I switch targets while leaving my pet on the previous target. After that previous target dies perhaps it fails to switch targets on its own sometimes. And then just sits there like it is on steady even though it is 100% on obey. If that makes sense.

I have seen this happen myself and I usually notice it after I tell it to attack something else. Such as bee or bulb during T6. Sometimes it goes back to raffie other times I have to tell her to or she just sits there doing nothing.
