Blood Pact = +72(!) Stamina WTF?

Poposhka · April 04, 2006, 02:11 PM

Hey, i was grouped with another warlock the other night on my server (Shadowsong). She was pretty pimped out in gear, and i was trying to get a glance on what the HELL she was wearing, because her Imp's blood pact would give a +72 Stamina Buff!!!! She logged soon, so i didn't have time to ask her what she was using.

Myself i'm Demonology/Afflic specced, and i have 3 points in improved imp, but that bugger only gives +42 stamina. According to what i've seen, that should give 38 (blood pact 5) + 30% = 49.4 STA. I can't be using blood pact 4, because that gives 27 stamina + 30% = 35.1 STA.

Possibly is Improved Imp bugged? maybe i'm only getting 10% bonus? 38 + 10% = 41.8 STA... Anyone seen this before?

Barring that... What am i missing.. and what gives such an insane bonus to your imp's blood pact?

No replys? I am curious too.

actually after looking in further i found the following tidbits of information.

- The tooltip for Blood Pact as a buff is bugged. in one or many ways.

- The correct buff amount can be found by using the tooltip in your pet's toolbar.

- +% to stamina (like Demonic Embrace) adds ON TOP of blood pact. so you have
(base + blood pact) + Demonic Embrace

.. It seems the only reliable way of exactly finding out what the buff is, is to check stamina, summon pet, and check stamina again =P

It seems the correct amount for Rank 5 blood pact is +42 stamina, not +38 as i thought. add +30% and you have 54 stamina. Add 15% demonic embrace and you have +62 stamina.

NOW, i added a 60 rogue to my group, and he claimed his stamina fluctuated +/-72 stamina as i summoned/dismissed pet. WEIRD! Do different classes get different buffs?

The extra 10 stamina probably came from someone wearing the Admiral's Hat. With that hat equipped, it gives 10 stamina to all the party members in the group and does stack with blood pact.

I just run into this bug myself, its only a bug in the buff that is on party members when i have my imp out.

I cheked by resummon my imp and their HP dropped the normal 410 HP, not 720 as it was indicated on the buff (+72 stamina). So as far as i see it, its only a bug in the UI.
