Fighting in AV, kill a few people outside their GY, they rez up together just as I'm finishing a 1v1 with a rogue. All of a sudden I'm surrounded, vanish on cooldown and PVP trinket blown. I manage to sprint, cloak of shadows the frost shock, gouge the hunter pet and clear at least 50 yards from it and the group.

Should be safe right? I have 20hp (thanks cheat death!) and I'm 50 yards from the stupid pet, no vanish but I managed to restealth while still sprinting away. Think it worked? Of course not. Dumbass pet chases me across the field of strife pulls me out of stealth and kills me.

It's not a mistake on his end, pets have just been glitched this way for a while and Blizzard still hasn't fixed it.

The pet following the stealthed rogue has been something that has been in the game for quite some time now.

It's not a glitch, either.

You should have been able to CS it before it got to you and finish it off before the hunter could then get in range.

Then you can run away and laugh as the hunter has to re-summon.

Overlord theophany knows how to turn frustration and weakness into fun and strength.

When I BG on my hunter, and I'm guarding a node/flag/GY, I put my cat on prowl (I'm in shadowmeld) and set him to "Aggressive". Flare just says "there is a hunter here". By the panicked running around this creates when they get pounced on, I'm sure this has created quite the few rogue heart attacks.

They need to put the blue eye above hunter pets, because they are that effective at seeing through stealth.

It's not a bug and here is why: stealth has never been intended to be a way to escape a fight. Vanish is precisely this. When it's up, you can escape from a fight, when it's not... then you can't do it through a mere stealth.

The real bug with vanish was that, if under attack while blowing vanish, you had high chances to be hit more or less simultaneously and be taken out of stealth right away (especially with fast-attacking pets). I have the impression that this has finally been fixed (at least I haven't had this problem in a good while).
