Description of Bug Experienced:
Attempted several times to use Dominate Person to control enemies as an Enchantment Specialist, but Dominated foes do not actually do anything other than follow or stand around. They do not actively attack, even if someone attempts to force them into attacking using the Player Associate Tool


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Dominate Person -> Half-orc Trapper

Expected Result:
Half-Orc Trapper becomes a loyal and faithful servant, happily slapping it's former friends into smithereens.

Actual Result:
Half-Orc Trapper becomes the definition of "Artificial Intelligence isn't,"

(Since this is a big part of the enchanter's kit, i imagine this might be a problem!)

There's a bit of work around to do, I found.

Usually I make sure that the dominated NPC isn't controlled with the Associate tool, and then with a right click on it, using the wheel I ask him to follow me first, then to stand ground and you can order it to attack nearest or use the Associate tool.

And if you put an invisibility on your dominated NPC, usually it breaks them and you have to have them bash a corpse or create to break the invisibility and they magically start to behave again

This is roughly my experience as well, quickly cycle so the Associate Tool isn't active, select "Attack Nearest" so they'll attack, then they're good. Same for Control Undead, Animal Empathy etc with other classes.
