Command undead bugs (3)

[Mervyn]

There are currently I would say 3 bugs with command undead.

1, the commanded undead are resistant to enemy paralise fields (can walk straight through them)
2, the commanded undead attack each other with area spells
3, unlike dryad allure when you release a commanded undead, the creature remains, does not attack the previous commander, does not go poof, this also has a side effect of the previous commander not being able to log out, plus people can end up putting a lot of strange things in strange places. (that's what he said)

Undead walking through paralyze fields does not seem so odd to me, surely paralyze affects the nervous system and do undead have one?. Undead do not necessarily follow the same rules as a living being. when dead your ghost can walk through the door of the healers.

Question on #1, does this occur in Fel?

To refine bug #2, they only attack each other now with Poison Strike splash damage. They fixed the wither issue that was causing this too.

As for #3, I kinda like this unintended side effect. I've used my villainous necromancer to drop spawn in locations of RP Events. In essence, I'm able to provide a challenge without having to engage the PEC. Yes, it could cause issues but tamers have had this ability for as long as the game has been around.

4. The poison strike will also cause them to attack their owner, blues/blue pets and even attack other necro summons. They can't damage blue pets or blue players in trammel but it makes them unusable in any group setting because the undead and blue pets will just attack each other and not attack the monster/boss/champ. I loved using skeleal dragons and lich lords but until it gets fixed I have to stick with rotting corpses.

I thought #2 was fixed in a previous publish/patch.

It turns out that what i was testing was lich lords, they are able to walk through paralyze fields due to their extremely high resisting spells so consider #1 debunked, as for creatures still attacking each other, they do, try and keep dream wraiths seperated, it can't be done

Yeah, i used to bring 2 Skeletal Dragons to my guild's Travesty runs, but the Skeletal Dragons kept attacking my guildies' GDs with splash damage from Poison Strike. Damn shame too, because Poison Strike is awesome for Travesty, because the splash damage hits all of her Images and destroys them (letting the GDs and guildies actually land hits on Travesty herself). I sit there and spam Poison Strike on her with a Conduit up (Travesty gets hit with the main strike, and multiple splash hits as well then).
@Kyronix Is there any chance we'll see this fixed? Hopefully you can find a way to fix the flagging issues with pets casting AoE/Splash damage (this bug has been around forever, it's why they had to remove Mass Curse from WWs). I'd love to see some pets get the ability to AoE with the upcoming Pet Revamp (AoE is the one major weakness of Tamers).

To add to this, I charmed a skeletal drake yesterday and noticed it was still casting wither, which is one of the spells that affect other player pets. I guess they have to go through each creature you can charm and alter the settings.

It's in the system, I don't have an ETA as to what publish it'll get fixed.
