I dont know if its only with the Ps3 version of the game, but my targeting seems to prioritise the mages pets.

I have turned minions off, and pets, and even npcs, but I keep targeting carbuncle or the pixie and in the heat of the battle I even try to "trade key items" with them.

This hapens when i tank, and also when i'm working on the conjurer class, making me waste some precious response time.

I could not find a work around it, so if you know any please let me know.
