it's probably the dread warhorse doing it's "trick" attack
Looks like a real possibility. (Not sure if being in a guild has any connection)
Looking back ...when I logged in the 3 tamers on my first account, I wasn't looking for a connection to Dread Warhorses: (if they received any damage it wasn't significant enough to get my attention because they all sorcerer's suits.
1. First Tamer went directly to the turkeys riding a dread warhorse,
- hid and lored a turkey beside her, when WHAM - suddenly the Giant Turkey was deadly Poisoned. Took this screenshot of the journal afterwards but didn't understand what had happend nor why. Didn't notice any damage on Character or dread at the time and didn't think to check.
The socrcer's suit protected the tamer:
2. Second Tamer was logged in later - - and as I wasn't exactly checking for any damage or if
he had a dread warhorse in his stables (which he has but it was kept in the stable.
He was riding an Etheral Horse), if he received any damage at all when he logged in, it went unnoticed.(Sorcerer's suit) He was immediately recalled to the Giant Turkeys to
test for any connection to the GTurkey becoming deadly poisoned after my first tamer, hidden on a dread, had lored it.
Nothing happened to him.
3. Third Tamer, also with a
dread warhorse in stable, was hidden at
log-in and immediately upon logging in,
received mild damage of 24 points (sorcerer's suit) Again I wasn't looking for any connection to a dread warhorse. Kept her on line a short time only.
Later, I logged-in all tamers, one at a time of course, all on that first account, this time to check their stables for Dread Warhorses, and to see if
keeping them on line longer as a test to see if they would be damaged/poisoned again, but ..
not one of them had a reoccurence of damage, even though they went dungeon crawling and to other locations while being kept on line for a long time. So immunity is in place after first damage?
I even tried to test Kojak's theory on my third tamer
by using "trick" first before keeping her on line for hours
doing everything possible that would cause DPD
..
(can't resist posting this picture of course!)
NOTE: She is in a guild as are all three tamers.
So, I finally used a friend's account that I was saving to test:
The tamer doesn't have a war horse, but
is in a guild.
Tried everything from hunting turkeys to prowling dungeons and
kept him on line for a long time ..
Nothing happened. No damage. No deadly poison.
The other account I was saving belongs to another friend but it
hasn't got a tamer on it. NONE of his characters received any damage and/or deadly Poison blasts during log-in nor while on line for a long time.
Note: Other account characters, including tamers were logged in too early to be checked propertly, didn't seem to receive any notable damage that would have caught my attention, but didn't have dread warhorses. After many other posts, the connection to tamers has become apparent, and then the dread warhorses are now suspect.
