I wrote recently about Cassandra and how she appeared to be griefing my raid. It seems that everyone, self included, spoke too soon. I gave her a stern talking to and got her to sit at my side on passive on the early Bastion trash.....and we still got the adds. While it doesn't explain Magmaw, it does appear that Cassie isn't quite as vicious as I had thought she was. In fact, she really threw herself into destroying the trash with a vengeance to clear her name.
Grateful as I am that I didn't tame a prankster (or a second one, I should say; I still don't totally trust Odysseus), I was disappointed that I hadn't had more faith in Cassie or myself. It's very easy to toss blame on pets and their owners for bad pulls. Yes, sometimes it's true, but other times, it's not. I've seen a few hunters who don't even use pets in 5m instances because they've been yelled at for their pet's behavior before. They were fine when they did take their pet out too, which means they'd probably gotten yelled at for no good reason.
It bugs me to no end. I'm just glad that my immediate friends and fellow raiders aren't overly serious about blaming pets. I feel for those who are not so lucky.

My ravager is griefing me
While Hector is liable to wipe a raid by doing something dumb, Cassandra somehow manages to do it on purpose. I can't tell if it's malicious or not, but it's definitely intentional.
The first time it happened, we were clearing Magmaw trash. Somehow, when we were clearing the second pull, she went on Magmaw, wiping us. There was no reason for her to attack him at all and I was pretty certain that I hadn't accidentally targetted him, though to be fair, in that room, it would be an easy thing to mess up. I took the blame, since I assumed that I had somehow sent her in by accident.
However, today, there was a second offense. We were clearing the early packs in Bastion of Twilight. CC went up on one of the central packs. Then somehow, the pack on the front right pulled too. Cassie strikes again. This time, I was certain I hadn't mistargetted. It stands to reason that if I had sent her in on one of the NPCs in that pack, I would have gotten aggro myself and been punched in the face. But that was not the case, as it had not been with Magmaw either.
Yep. I'm definitely getting griefed. >_<
