Beasts and the ~30% non attack bug?


SmalltalkJava

Recommended Posts

What do you mean by a "~30% non attack bug" - do you mean about 30% of the time the beasts don't attack, or do you mean they seem to stand there and do nothing for about 30% of the time?  I have a baby beast MM, and the wolves and lioness seem to attack at about the expected rate...

Where they just stand around not doing anything.  They start the attack fine.  It seems that once they start cycling their attack chains they reach a dead spot.

I don't know if this is true or not. I have a beasts char but I don't know how to track this sort of thing. I can tell you that beasts have a lot of non-attack abilities. Like Lick wounds and the various howls. This deadspot could simply be an instance of a couple of these abilities landing in a row.

it is true. it's dps deadtime. it was reported on the old forums pre shutdown as an issue for the set. it has not been addressed as of yet.

I tested a fully upgraded howler wolf (so no lick wounds) against a training dummy on the test server a couple weeks ago. The combat log is in another thread. There are several periods of time where the wolf is literally doing nothing. Like a 3-5 second window where it's not attacking, no casting a buff/debuff, etc. Their bite attack has, it says, a 3s cooldown, so there should never be a dead-spot that lasts more than 3 seconds. In a 60-second period the wolf did 21 things. If it was doing JUST bite, that would track, but it has three other abilities it was using as well.

 

You know, come to think of it, I might revisit the test with a howler with NO upgrades, so all it has is the basic bite and lunge. See if it actually attacks more often. If it does, then we can try and narrow down what might be causing the dead zones.

I'm leveling up a beasts/Time MM now. (at 46, I think). I do see this bug from time to time, but not often. I'd guess it's closer to 3% than 30%. When it happens I just tell them to attack my target and away they go, so it's not a huge issue.

Did some testing, video and data below. I think part of the problem might be Vicious Bite and the Bleed DoT. Bleed ticks once per second and often appears the pet does nothing while the DoT is active. The pet should be able to use alternate powers while Bleed is active.
