Bug/Exploit with this patch: Minion Mana

Rubino · May 23, 2007, 01:36 PM

Oops, just stumbled upon a bug/exploit with this patch...

Getting ready for adventure, I make my SS, HS, and Armor then DP my imp to nothing. I summon my mount, realized I forgot to apply my SS. I unmount and Imp mana is insta-full.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Shh. Keep this one quiet, blizzard might not nerf it for a while.

Lets hope they dont "hotfix" it...will probably mess with the pet despawn/respawn fix.

I'd consider this to be just desserts, after 3 years of losing my pets and sharsd every time I got onto a flight path, walked on an elevator, got a lag spike while walking, had my pet dazed by mobs, or flat outrode it..

Since you can't mount in combat it's not such a big deal, however I suspect this fix will be a long way off since they only recently figured out how to fix the "summoned at less than 100%" bug that's been bugging every pet class for ages.

Oops.

I noticed this the other day, and also noticed that if your minion isn't at or near full health, he comes back as he was dismissed.

The bad news is I demonstrated it for a GM.

Sorry guys.

Havent there been about 3 or 4 threads on this

I noticed this the other day as well, but we still have the buff problem so it evens out.

Cynic · June 17, 2007, 09:59 PM

Yeah. I loose 1k health that I need to regain every time I dismount, so.. having the extra mana just makes up for it. I'd be a lot more pissed about it if the imp started with no mana every time I dismounted. (Primal Mana/Fire farming, anyone?)

This is just another reason why afflocks are the best spec of any class for farming stuff atm.
