I had that problem on Attumen. KTM gets confused with pets.

Edit: You guys must do attumen differently from our guild. My DPS always sucks on him because we run in for phase 2 and melee him.

Bad post, removed.

That's smaller than I thought. But when talking about split second mechanics like this, lag is a huge factor and I haven't taken that into account.
