Thrall Combat Issues? Bug?

I’m playing on an official server and for some reason my thrall will not attack enemies even though he’s set on attack all. Sometimes. I can hide behind him to get hit then he will swing. If the enemy moves he stops attacking. Before I took a thrall I typically have them on stand and defend. Don’t know if that’s causing the problem before I set him to attack all. Anyone else having this issue?

Not here. I play on official pve, single player and I’m also on a private pvp server and my thralls attack all the time unless they get stuck on stuff. I have never had them set to anything other than attack nothing or attack all so I can’t vouch for wether or not having them set to stand and defend may be causing your issue sorry.

Sometimes the AI is really stupid. Best performance I’ve had with thralls in combat is equipping greatswords, battle axes, and maces. Sometimes they also get stuck in some kind of mesh from the terrain so if you’re ordering your thrall to attack and it won’t move, just try ordering it to move to a different location instead. You should also adjust the engage and chase distance of your thralls if you have it on the “attack all”’ mode. Maybe it’s not engaging automatically because the enemies are not in range, and if they are, they might be suffering from the mesh trap I mentioned earlier. If all else fails, just try to capture a new higher tier thrall since T3 and T4 thralls are the only ones that access the heavy attacks of weapons, which are essential when equipped with a mace or battle axe.

Which weapons are they using @OPT1MUS-PR1ME ? If they’re using a shield, try removing it. Something about the shield makes them not work correctly.
