Pets and flying mounts to be fixed in 2.1.0
Good news for hunters and warlocks who were hoping to pull off “Death from Above” attacks using their flying mounts. Vaneras notes that there’ll be a fix for those pesky problems with flying mounts and your pets, creating a saved state for your pet that persists while in flight, allowing for an auto-summon upon landing.
Here’s what Vaneras had to say about it:
We are aware that Hunters and Warlocks still have problems with their pets, when taking off on their flying mounts (The pet is still running and aggros all mobs, or it lands off with its master and then disappears). We recently said that this problem would be solved for Hunter and Warlock pets and in regards to that, we would like to inform you that we expect to have that issue resolved in the patch 2.1.
When the Hunter or Warlock is mounting a flying mount, the pet will automatically be “saved” and then un-summon, and dismounting the flying mount will cause the pets to re-summon immediately (This will also happen when using a flight path).
Great news for hunters (and warlocks) everywhere out there in Blizzard land. Not so great news for those folks who were hoping to get away from one on foot.
