Have spoken to several other pet classes if they have noticed the same behaviour with their pets as well as noticing it with their pets as well. All of us have said that they did not notice the same behaviour before 13.7. In essence without anyone getting aggro'd the pet will just suddenly initiate combat on it's own against some mob with no command telling it to do so. Often times it will travel across multiple rooms seperate from it's owner rooms without being told
Pet hits xyz mob for pzq damage
xyz mob attacks pet
or some other combination that involves the mob attacking first or the pet aggroing because the master was attacked.rather than
Pet "yes master let me kill it"
Pet hits xyz mob for pzq damage
xyz mob attacks pet
