not a bug, the ai just seems weird like that, as everyone said, on higher difficulties random mobs will spawn and attack them while youre trying to pacify new ones, and it gets hectic. if you ever have your chocobo companion out for these, dont forget to command them to "follow" as theyll also continuously attack the harmless pacified mob until it is dead and you have to wait around for a new one to spawn

I just put my chocobo in healer stance when I do these types of leve quests. It never attacks anything as a result.

Heh, wait till you cast blizzard 2 on trash mobs and see Carby stop attacking anything and everything you're trying to kill. Silly squirrel!

You can hit Heel anytime you want carby to stop attacking. The macro provided earlier, will cancel the attack, and put him back on guard so he will automatically start attacking anything that is attacking you or him.

He's probably gone, but just for the hell of it and so other people that come across this know what's going on, I'm gonna leave my post here:

For the record, pets DO stop attacking when you soothe a leve target like this because combat ends at that moment. The specific problem here is that soothing doesn't remove DoTs, which Arcanists always use, so you get back into combat with the monster, so your pet goes back to attack it unless you command otherwise. It is annoying, but you could just not use a pet for these leves. It's not that big of a deal.

If this is too much of an annoyance for someone, then I'm not sure what to tell them. Every single MMO will have SOMETHING quirky like this, and I don't know what MMO doesn't. FFXIV has been by far the least buggiest MMORPG I've ever played.
