    Tested on Covenant M0 (21.14.85)

    A pet will stop attacking the target if there is an absorb effect on it. This absorb shield buff can be used after a pet starts attacking to make it drop aggro in 1-4 attacks usually. Pet attacking in melee or casting does not matter. I have not tested with a hunter yet.

    To reproduce, have 1 horde and 1 alliance character or duel. Have one character be a priest and another be a warlock. Have the pet attack the priest in melee or with a spell. Now on the priest, cast Power Word: Shield. The pet will stop attacking within 4 attacks usually.

    The pet will sometimes keep attacking normally if you send it to attack again while the shield buff is still active. But if the priest drops the buffs and adds them again the pet will once more drop aggro.

    I tested a little more and it turns out that if another player is auto-attacking and then the priest uses Power Word: Shield, the attacking player will also stop their attack.

    This bug seems to be related to auto-attacks in general, and perhaps the shield is causing the attacker to think there is an evade happening?

    I changed the title to reflect the new information.
