This has been going on for a while now.
Against tamers or spellweavers with pixies in PvP I smoke bomb and still get hit with spells while I am invisible. For a while I assumed that it was some delayed spell going off after I hid or it was me lagging.
Then I took a closer look and realized it wasn't delayed spells, it was all sorts of spells that require targeting and unbroken line of sight like magic arrow, debuffs, fire ball, even lightning going off when I had already taken several steps. Still I thought that maybe it was me lagging.
But now I have definitive proof that pets and summons can target and cast on hidden players.
I was fighting a group in destard today that had tamers and mystics among them. I had to run off screen because I was targeted by lesser hiryus and RCs, so I smoke bombed and cast an RC that ended up attacking one of the hiryus that had been standing still for about 30 seconds. I hid again and while the hiryu was fighting the RC it suddenly started casting spells on me despite the fact that I was hidden!
The same happened when I had to smoke bomb again and was continuously cast on by an enemy RC with mysticism spells which ended up revealing me (it cast sleep, spell plague and bombard on me while I was already stealthing half a screen away).
I experienced this bug against pixies, RCs and spell casting pets. None of which used area damage spells when they targeted me while hidden. Possibly this applies to other summons too.
My character is on Siege Perilous, a red and obviously was combat flagged when this happened but still it shouldn't be targeted when hidden unless it gets hit with area damage.
@Bleak @Kyronix @Mesanna could you please take a close look at this and fix it?
