joesinger Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 hi @all... I´ve searched already via search-function.... when I use my vanish (cloaking screen) my companion still stays in-fight. thats very annoying, especially when I send my mate fighting a boss-mob while I'm looting a treasure chest - and then click vanish. I can wait a few minutes, but I will stay in-fight. when I de-stealth, my mate (kaliyo) immediately focuses the mobs and starts fighting.... is this a known bug....(or a feature? :-D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwoger Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've noticed this lately as well - and also with Kaliyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronkaarr Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 if you vanish after the fight has started then your companion will remain in combat. you can either let your companion die before hitting your vanish, or you can vanish and get to a safe distance, then wait out your vanish cooldown timer, unstealth and then vanish again. then you'll be out of combat. i usually let my companion die, then vanish cuz it's faster than waiting out the cooldown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washell Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Mobs already doing channeled abilities, you or companion have a DoT on you, or companion standing in aoe: vanish fails and you stay in combat. Wait until DoT's expired and mobs are just doing regular shots, vanish works just fine. It's not a brainless, free get out of jail card. You need to use it at the right moment.

WisTexOfficial Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Makes sense though in some way. If you are already in combat, you already tipped them off of your presence. Might be Bioware's way to force you to battle once you have already been detected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korse Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The safest way to Vanish is Evasion + Vanish. If your companion is out, put them in Passive mode. That drops them out of combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishingwell Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 As others have said, you and your companion have to be completely free of channels, DoTs, and AoEs -- this includes ones you or your companion may have put on the mobs as well. Put your companion on passive first and run a bit if you have to before stealthing. Now, I will say one recurring bug (which I feel is actually a bug) is mobs following your stealthed companion without actually knocking your companion out of stealth. I have seen this one come and go while using Vanish and other Hide In Plain Sight abilities. And, yes, it puts you back in combat no matter what, and taking yourself out of stealth will cause the companion to go attack the mob that was following along... which will aggro that whole group all over again. It will also cause other nearby mobs to aggro on occasion, which can be a real mess. When this happens I just run like heck and hope for the best.

Shakrra Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Most of the times this happens because you have dots from the target you banished from, you can try using Evasion, most of the times it works but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
