[Location, Faction, Race] Happens everywhere
[Name, Type] Any kind of debuff on pets
[Problem Description] Whenever a debuff is applied on a PET and you move away from it, the debuff is gonna stay on the target. But this is just a visual bug that happens ONLY with pets, does not happen with normal mobs or players. (video: 2019-07-19 01-28-34 - Streamable )
[How it should work] Debuffs should fade normally

EDIT: after testing some more i found out that this happens if the pet is 20 or more yards far away from the pet

EDIT 2 : more testing, i think its actually something with the 'Control Pet' spells, can't really tell what

bump on this. after playing a bunch of 3v3 arenas with my friends it turns out to be a quite annoying bug :)

still don't know 100% why it is occuring, because its bugged only like 50% of the times

few more notes:

i tested this and it occurs on the V10 aswell.

it seems like the pets acts as its not existing when it goes too far ( 2019-08-23 22-04-55 - Streamable ).
a bit hard to explain but players are not getting updated information about the position, buffs or actions of the pet when it's a bit too far.

this does not happen in older versions of repack (e.g. version 6 or 6.1 )

it is not client side. there have been a lot of my friends trying it out and it bugs out for them sometimes aswell.

it does not happen with pets like shadowfiend, moonkin treants, gargoyle, etc. It only happens with the spells that have effect 56 ( spell::EffectSummonPet ) such as unholy dk ghoul, mage elemental, warlock pets, hunter pets

been experiencing the bug on v10 v11 v12

can we get at least an update on this please?
i noticed my 1 year vip is gone now and i would definitely get it again if this (or pet mechanics in general) gets fixed in v13

I'll have a look for V13. Sorry for the delay.
Also, there are some pet mechanic improvements done too.

Will keep you updated.
