The rise and fall of Gurth Fana.

[Fridgster]

From the depths of the abyss rises a great necromancer by the name of Gurth Fana. Flanked by his deathly duo of skeletal dragons Graintog and Razgor, he prepares to ambush an unsuspecting Ogre Lord.
With a gesture of his hand he turns the Ogre Lords skin to that of the undead while at the same time commanding his fearsome companions to tear apart their victim.
The battle began well, the doomed Ogre was taken off guard by the quickness and power of the initial attack. Razgor and Graintog tore into the ogres' skin causing it to scream in agony.
Then it happened. Apparently Razgor didn't like the smell of Graintog or perhaps Graintog didn't think Razgor paid enough attention to her. For whatever reason they decided to begin attacking each other completely losing interest in the ogre. Gurth attempted to quell their anger however All he received for his intervention was an inadvertent (I think) claw to the head. Which of course gave the snickering, foul smelling, club wielding ogre enough time to sneak up on Gurth and bash his brains in.
Gurths' last moments were not pretty. If only his loyal companions would have been a bit more loyal.

Translation: Please make my skeletal dragons play nice together.

Neat story.

Curious though, how much time did you spend making the story for a one line request?

 

[Fridgster]

Eh 10 minutes. Hoping it is odd enough to catch a devs attention.

Lol, that's awesome

 

[Spartan]

Nice, well put story! Now lets see if anything comes of the request!

Any undead monster controlled by the necro mastery that can cast spells will aggo anything sooner or later. Anything includes the player, any other green, grey, red, blue char, their pets or summons(even undead raised by animate dead spell).

For Skeletal Dragons, they only missed poison strike. They fixed the wither problem on them. For Skeletal Drakes, however, they need to fix both the wither and poison strike!

May wanna tag a dev in the post...cool story!

Lol, yep. I used to use 2 Skeletal Dragons against Travesty, but they kept aggroing on guildies and their pets. Even after the "fix" where they removed Wither from them, since Poison Strike does it too.
The bug with AoE using pets aggroing on blues/greens, has been around forever. When WWs first came out in 1998, they were able to cast Mass Curse, which would cause them to aggro on anything within a 3 tile radius of their main target, even if it was the WW's owner trying to vet him. Instead of finding a way to fix the bug, they instead removed Mass Curse from all WWs. Hopefully they find some way to fix this, so that we can get AoE casting for pets with the upcoming Pet Revamp.
