This looks correct, every unit has a base radius and the 5 ft is between the edges of these radii. This is to allow some flexibility when people are moving as otherwise with the latency you would rarely be able to hit targets you think are in range because both your position and your target's position are not what you are seeing on your screen. |

By that logic the pet should be able to attack and use abilites from the exact same range it is able to fetch. See updated possible range for fetch (one tile further away than original report). This is so far away the ability doesn't even light up as "being able to use" but you can still use it. Either the range on the pull is bugged or the range on the pet being able to use its own abilities is bugged when taking your explanation into consideration. There is no way 3 tiles away from the target is the intended range to pull people from. |

After looking at this closer, the range requirement is 15 feet. It might be set that way due to pathfinding issues or for other technical reasons. The skill itself doesn't mention a 5 foot range anywhere so this isn't necessarily a bug, but I'll leave it open for the balance team to look at. Note that there are still some cases of some position desyncs with pets, so what you see on your screen might not be where others (or the server) sees the pet. |

Fetch should have a requirement of 5 feet, like all other targeted melee pet abilities. It being set to 15 feet is the entire core of the issue here and is likely either a hack-y fix or an incorrect implementation on whoever touched the ability's code last. I've privately reported this with video evidence that painstakingly shows this issue in action. You can go through and check all the other WL pet abilities, they are all 5 feet. Having the pet be able to pull at double the max range of players' targeted melee abilities seems incorrect to say the least. This and several other game-breaking WL pet bugs (such as being able to instantly KD players who are 200ft away) have existed for over half a year now with no progress made on them. As such there has been a trickle down effect and more and more of the population has begun to actively abuse these bugs to score kills. |
