If you tell your pets to attack someone in a group the commander <may> attack the target you picked but your sub pets will attack other foes your target was grouped with. WTF? Is this WAI? If so, who's the idiot who thinks none assisting green con pets running around beating on some casters pet another beating on a shield pally and the last one brakeing someones mezz/root was a good idea?
And what's with the archer pets, the damage they do sucks, the 4sec draw time is waaaay to long, they keep trying to maintain a set distence to their target which means if it's moveing the archer just keeps running around like a moron.
Look I know AI is dumb but ffs /assist, up the bow damage, forget the set range crap, and lower the draw time.

Yep Bonedancer have since beginning of SI been a very very buggy class, like you said Healer goes panic and run around aggro everything, Archer useless damage and run around like fools, Nuker pets hits very little if they ever hit anything that is.
Its strange that mythic dont do anything about it, ehm shouldt be that hard to fix i think.

Sub pets always attack multiple targets if possible. In PvE if more than one mob comes, the soldiers will always try and attack a different target than the commander. Same is true in PvE, the soldiers will go after other people in the target's group (even if they are nowhere nearby). The only time they assist each other is if there is only 1 enemy.
The reason your commander doesn't always go for the target you chose is that like all pets (except thurgests) they will change targets if someone agros them, just like any mob. A good tank can hit your commander one time, which will get it off a caster. Then the caster can nuke it away, and kill all your sub pets too.
There is a reason most BDs who RvR a lot are Sup spec. BA and Dark just isn't worth even trying unless you like agrivation.
