Necro pet keeps resetting buttons

[alugilac]

I select for the pet to protect me, and protect yourself, and assist, and repeatedly it turns those settings off, I have look all over for a way to stop this, any suggestions?

Settings 2 tab [x] Do not send pet to attack
Likewise for mercs, [x] Disable Merc Support
These do the same thing for their respective names. It won't do anything with your (pet/merc). That includes sending it to attack, changing it's target etc. You can manage that, OR have Ogre manage it for you.
(Doing a /pet backoff apparently modifies those, and Ogre uses that)
