Imp Doesn't Claw

Whenever I make a warlock character and summon an imp, it wouldn't claw even if I told it to attack.
It would only use fireballs if they are toggled "on". If fireball is toggled "off", It would only stand there and watch me fight.
I also noticed that only applies to this server.

Is that a bug or a deliberate gameplay decision?

That is correct, imps cannot attack in melee.

Yeah, what's up with that? If they have claws by design, they're supposed to be able to use them, right?
Or is it disabled so that they can't pull unnecessary agro in dungeons?

You would have to ask Blizzard why they made that choice.

Then those other servers were bugged, because imps cannot attack in melee (again). You can check retail.

"A common mistake some warlocks make is to tell their Imp to attack when Firebolt isn't set to auto-cast. Since Firebolt is the Imp's only attack form, this gives it nothing to do"
