Hi brokergames,
The reason why your Pink Wizards don't immediately target a new enemy is because they have an attack frequency of 5000. Their attack animation, however, makes it seem as though they are attacking much faster (think Staff Stan's, they have a frequency of 1000).

Hi Lord Baal, ok.. i know, but the pink wizard give the damage in the last hit with your rod.. exemple: show the animation one, two, three, four and give the damage, and continues the sequence one more time even the target has been killed, attacking the ground. During more time.. i used in blue vlads, kill in one hit, but continues the sequence with the animation and, when he finally stop, he go to the next target.. more than 5 seconds. Better for me Staff Stand frequency 1 sec, cuz change the target more fast. I payed for it, to help me..but.. pink wizard is a big bug, waste a lot of time to kill one target and to go to the other, loose a lot of life too because of that.

Thanks to try help me and sorry for my english.

to be clear, it is not a bug. The pink wizard was purposely designed to act this way... as you said, it makes for a bad follower against weaker enemies (though quite useful against against stronger enemies of course)

Your question was answered, but it seems as though you are not understanding. With an attack frequency of 5000, your pet will attack the same target in the same spot for 5 seconds. This means many things - 1) your pet is not going to hit a moving target, 2) the pet will attack the same spot 5 times even if the monster is dead, 3) the 5 attacks are animation ONLY - and only 1 of them is the hit (so it only looks like your pet is hitting 5 times, but really it is only 1 time).

I try to show you, maybe the bug its only to me.. my pet give more than 5 animations man.. i not children, i can count. You closed your eyes to see and ignored me in the game, when i go to show you the animations, you go to other place. I never needed to post anything here, it was the first time and I honestly did not see anything good, I was treated like crap.

My pet give more than 5 animations.. why anyone listening me? I payed for pets more than 6 times, and only now i need help.. and anyone listening me. Ooh God.. someone can help me please? Is not just for my money, if someone have the same problem???? I see in the forum people saying the same thing.. the same question guys.

If this is a bug, it's not only with this pet.
Typing my test results.

Wow. We ARE listening. You are the one not listening. What you are describing is EXACTLY the way it is supposed to work. This is not a bug. This is the way they work. The mages attack is very slow. The animation graphics only make it appear that your mage is still attacking. However, he really only attacks once in 5 seconds. So - one attack with 5 animations.

To give you the benefit of the doubt, I decided to run some tests with a stopwatch.
For all tests, my "test dummy targets" were sword skeletons, ID #6 (really easy to kill).

Test 1
Pet ID#88, Pink Wizard frequency of 5000
Target: 10 Skeletons
Time elapsed: 1:40

Test 2
Pet ID#56, Warlock frequency of 2000
Target: 10 Skeletons
Time elapsed: 0:40

Test 3
Pet ID#409, Fire Archer frequency of 1000
Target: 10 Skeletons
Time elapsed: 0:20

Test 4
Pet ID#6, Sword Skeleton (10 pets given to myself)
Spawned attacker ID#88, Pink Wizard frequency of 5000
Time elapsed: 1:40

The common theme here: all attack frequencies are actually doubled.
So, if this is deemed a bug, it's straight across the board, and really, even if it were fixed, nothing much would change.
The only other strange thing I notice is:
Pink Wizard does it's attack damage in about the middle of the animation (per attack), not the start nor the end.
i believe, this always was the way it worked, so that's not really a bug either.
