Ghostcrawler made a post on the official forums earlier regarding Hunter¡¯s Pets and the recent change to Defensive stance. Do you play a Hunter, and if so, do you prefer the new system or the old?

Blizzard Quote: (Source) 
We recently changed the way defensive stance works for pets. In the old design, the pet would not attack a target that you were attacking until it did something to generate threat - typically attacking you. In the new design, as soon as you attack a target, the pet will attack the target too. Our thinking was that this made defensive a little easier to use and you still have passive to override that behavior.

However, we have heard from some players (hunters mostly, though this isn¡¯t just a hunter issue) that they prefer the old defensive stance. We wanted to get a little more feedback from players on the issue.

In order to keep this readable, please don¡¯t stray into other hunter or pet issues that don¡¯t directly affect this topic. Also please don¡¯t attempt to redesign the feature (such as having four stances).
