[REJECTED] [Death Knight][Unholy] Pet Related Bugs

[Reyz]

1.  All Will Serve (wowhead link) related bugs:

1.1. Pet stance Vs. Skeleton (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= Pet stance of skeleton is not equal your ghoul's stance first time you summon it (Looks like default stance for it at first is "Assist" like Army of the Dead ghouls instead of your current pet's stance)

Proof: Freakz Video

1.2. Skeleton's speed (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= Skeleton's speed doesn't scale with your ground or water mount speed (When you are mounted)

Proof: Freakz Video

1.3. Dismiss skeleton (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= When you dismiss your ghoul, Skeleton will remain, Also it doesn't go away when you ride a fly mount (Not until you make a far distance)

Proof: Freakz Video

As a general note for them, Skeleton's behavior should be same as your ghoul's behavior except for their location beside their master and the fact that Skeleton (Risen Skulker) can't be controlled without your ghoul



1.4. Skeleton is an archer (Major) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= Skeleton (Risen Skulker) actually has a bow and casts Skulker Shot (wowhead link) which has 35 yard range and deals 500% weapon damage (I'm not sure about this because i checked spell's changelog on wowhead and the last one is not precise but the one before it says 500%) as physical damage (Good to mention that this skeleton should deal more damage than your normal ghoul, There is actually many proofs for that in videos but look video #4 in proof section as an example)
Also in recount it was set as "Melee (Risen Skulker)" which i think it should change as well
It can have many benefits for DK by preventing damage wasting from moving by target location change and also for some places that doesn't have melee ranage

Proof:
Youtube - min 0:17
Youtube - min 0:39
Youtube - min 0:21
Youtube - min 3:09 (Skeleton does more damage than normal ghoul)

1.5. Skeleton's AoE damage (Major) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= I tried alot to find a valid resource for this, Skeleton actually has another spell called Arrow Spray (wowhead link) which as description of spell says, It deals damage to your current target and all enemies within 8 yards for Physical damage, It also has 40 yard total range and if there was only 1 target, It will do double-shot (I'm not actually sure about this double-shot because i think the pet starts casting Arrow Spray (wowhead link) whenever there is more than 1 target but video #1 made me confused about it. I'm still looking for valid resources for it)
You can also look at spell's changelog for its damage on wowhead
I couldn't find a valid information about its cast time unfortunately but i know it casts the spell a lot and when there is more than 2 targets, It deals way more damage than Skulker Shot (wowhead link) as you can see in video #2

Proof:
Youtube - min 0:17 (Look how it does double shot at single target)
Youtube - min 3:48 (Look at recount when it shows risen skulker's damage)

1.6. Skulker's arrow animation (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= Just as title says, It doesn't have a correct animation.

Proof: Freakz Video

1.7. Skulker Vs. Unattackable target (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= If target of skeleton gets unattackable and you command it to attack, it will not attack other targets anymore and just follows you

Proof: Freakz Video

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Army of the Dead (wowhead link) related bugs:

2.1. Ghouls' Leap (Minor) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= Pets summoned by Army of the Dead (wowhead link) don't use "Leap" on their first charge attack

Proof: Freakz Video

2.2. Armies of the Damned (wowhead link) doesn't work (Major) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= Pets summoned by your Army of the Dead (wowhead link) and Apocalypse (wowhead link) should put various debuffs on their target ( Death (wowhead link) - Famine (wowhead link) - War (wowhead link) - Pestilence (wowhead link))

I've tested Both AotD and Apocalypse, There was not visual for any debuffs on the target and no damage on recount except for Pestilence (wowhead link) that was casted several times by only pets from Apocalypse (Not AotD)
2.2.1. With this trait ghoul's chance to apply their additional effects increased to 30% (It was 25%) regarding to this changes
2.2.2. Also note from the hotfix of 28 Sep that Multiple U-DKs with this trait can now have their Death, Pestilence, and Famine debuffs applied at the time.

Proof: Freakz Video

Youtube - Minute 5:00

2.3. Portal to the Underworld (wowhead link) doesn't happen for Army of the Dead (Major) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= When pets summoned by AotD or Apocalypse (wowhead link) die (expire), They should explode ( Dragged to Helheim (wowhead link)) and deal a damage equal to 120% of DK's attack power as shadow damage to enemies within 8 yards. The point is that it happens for pets summoned by Apocalypse but it doesn't happen for pets summoned by AotD

Proof: Freakz Video

2.4. Army of the Dead Vs. Follow-Attack (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= If you cast pet follow and pet attack while your ghouls from AotD engaging target, There is a chance that all of your ghouls will not return to attack that target (you should repeat pet Follow-Attack again and again to make it correct which affect your damage on target and time you spend)

Proof: Freakz Video

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Sludge Belcher (wowhead link) related bugs:

3.1. Sludge Belcher's damage (Major) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= Both ghoul and abomination's damage is correct but after using some spells like Apocalypse (wowhead link), Festering Strike (wowhead link) or ... , damage done by abomination ( Sludge Belcher (wowhead link)) will significantly decrease and doesn't go away until you re-summon your pet (This happens only for abomination not the ghoul), Even by casting Dark Transformation (wowhead link) damage is still low, In fact it affects all pet spells that does damage including Vile Gas (wowhead link)
I think it actually decreases pet's melee damage which affects all other pet spells as well

Proof: Freakz Video

3.2. Pet's Health (Major) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= I know that Sludge Belcher (wowhead link) has more health than a normal ghoul but unfortunately couldn't find a valid source for its actual amount

Proof: battle.net comment / Wowhead Comment (wowhead link) - Last line

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. General pet bugs:

4.1. Pet speed Vs. "Walk on Water" buffs (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= Pet speed DOES scale with ground or water mount speed but while using buffs like Path of Frost (wowhead link) that lets you walk on water, Your pet can't follow you with your mount speed and it will have a normal swim speed instead

Proof: Freakz Video

4.2. Pet abilities vs. Mounted master (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= Considering i have my pet on "Defensive" stance, When i bypass a hostile npc while i'm mounted (and npc attacks me or my pet), It will attack the npc back (Pet should not use its abilities while it's master is mounted), Note that it only does white damage (Not cleaver, smash or ...)
The other ability is "Move To" which you can use it too while mounted

Proof: Freakz Video

4.3. Pet Vs. Out of Combat (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= When you kill something with your pet, It takes more time to come out of combat compared to having no pet (After killing higher HP mobs, It takes even longer to come out of combat while having pet)

Proof: Freakz Video

4.4. Pet's Locations (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= Your ghoul (or abomination) and skeleton summoned from All Will Serve (wowhead link) will always stand in different sides (One right and one left but right now skeleton is like a follower and sometimes goes on top of ghoul especially when do a pet attack and pet follow)

Proof: Youtube - Min 15.03

4.5. Weird Pet Movement Pattern (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info=
4.5.1. Pet's movement pattern is not correct, It moves with a delay in many places for some unknown reason, Which a chain of this delays makes your pet dismissed. I should also mention that it moves correct in some places like my garrison (But incorrect in many places), I think it's caused by how the pet actually deals with obstacles which may interfere with its movement
4.5.2. Normal follow distance is not recommended for DK pets, It actually should move very close to its master. Also It should have a quicker update timer for its movements

Note: Well to be more precise, They adapt themselves with the master like to say they have an internal update status timer regarding to their master's location, It should not be like "pets change their location whenever their master goes out of normal follow-distance" (if you know what i'm saying)
See this video - min 1:03, You'll see when skeleton gets fully summoned it will adapt its correct location quickly regarding to its master's without the player even make a move
Also take a look that min 3:15 when player starts moving, Pet distance is lower than normal follow distance which means it doesn't use "follow" method, It's like they are struggling to reach to their master's side (their actual location)

I tried to make the information about its mechanic as precise as possible so sorry if it was too much

Proof: Freakz Video

4.6. Dark Transformation (wowhead link) Vs. Pet abilities (Major) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info= While your pet has Dark Transformation, It can use both normal pet's abilities and Dark Transformation abilities. This happens for both normal pet and Sludge Belcher (wowhead link)
It's a useful bug btw and makes DK quite stronger specially in PVP
Correct form is that it should only empower your ghoul's abilities into Dark Transformation (wowhead link) abilities when you're using this spell (Replace them)

Proof:
Correct Form - min 5:38
Freakz video

4.7. Dark Transformation (wowhead link) Vs. Pet abilities 2 (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= When you cast Dark Transformation, Spell's appearance on pet bar or in spellbook don't change to their empowered form like Gastric Bloat (wowhead link) or Vile Gas (wowhead link)

Proof: Freakz Video

4.8. /Reload Vs. Pet control (Major)

Spoiler:

Info= Sometimes for many reason (Addons, ...) you may want to use relog command before boss pull, But /relog command makes your pet bar go away and you can't control your pet anymore
I tested this also for a warlock pet and result was same (I don't know about hunter pets). Dismiss macro doesn't also work with them and only a normal logout will fix the problem (If summoning your pet is not on CD)

Proof: Freakz Video

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Visual bugs:


5.1. New Dark Transformation (wowhead link) Visual (Minor)

Spoiler:

Info= When you have Sludge Belcher (wowhead link) talent, your Dark Transformation should actually be like flesh beast (like a smaller Festergut) instead of Plague eruptor

Proof: Gamepedia - Notes / Youtube - Min 5.58

5.2. Pet bar abilities Vs. pet spellbook abilities (Minor) - [Fixed]

Spoiler:

Info=
5.2.1. When you cast a spell like Hook (wowhead link) or Protective Bile (wowhead link) from pet bar, It doesn't go on cooldown on pet spellbook
5.2.2. Also spellbook abilities do not change when i cast Dark Transformation (wowhead link) (I can only see new spells on pet bar)

Proof: Freakz Video

Thanks for "infernous"'s topic and "Cosmin050895"'s reply, They also covered two other bugs

I'll be glad if you guys correct me if i was wrong about any part or maybe add new bugs that you know (I'll update the topic for new bugs if GMs prevent locking it)[/img]

[Quicksand]

During the portings from MoP seemingly something overwrote my AI for AotD and Apocalypse ghouls. most of the issues you mentioned here (exploding, claws, death, war, famine, leap, no claw attack, etc) is due to that. I will reapply my fix and it will be solved :)

Update @ 15-04-2017, 17:26:15

Also, I can't reproduce the bug you're saying about Sludge Belcher's damage I went through all the spells from my spellbook, nothing seems to affect the abomnation's damage at all)

Update @ 15-04-2017, 17:28:03

Maybe some proof for that one?

Update @ 19-04-2017, 15:50:56

Please test these after the next restart... the rest is kinda low priority (although will possibly fix dark transformation vs sludge belcher too a bit later today)

[Reyz]

thx for spending time on them

btw i'm curious to know what was the cause for "3.1. Sludge Belcher's damage", If you had time i would be glad to know about it.

[Quicksand]

Anything basically that would change your Attack Power or Strength (in your case Rune of the Fallen Crusader procced, modifying your strength, the server tried to recalculate the damage using the new data, but there was something that blocked it, resulting in that damage)

[Reyz]

After server restart i checked them, Well to be honest nothing changed at all except that Risen Skulker (skeleton) doesn't do damage at all

[Quicksand]

To be honest, I did not expect such a quick restart (it was a crash), and nothing is applied yet (except instant Database changes, like the fact that I disabled autoattack for risen skulker)

Update @ 19-04-2017, 16:34:36

I just finished uploading all the fixes, so counting from NOW after the next restart please check them >< sorry for the inconvenience

[Reyz]

They all seem to be correctly fixed.

I just got some questions, When i was testing skulker's damage i saw that it hitted the target with Skulker Shot (wowhead link) by 6.6k (normal hit) so:

1. How much is Skulker Shot (wowhead link)'s damage
2. How much is Arrow Spray (wowhead link)'s damage
3. How much is the Cooldown for Arrow Spray (wowhead link)

I payed attention to skulker's cast and i couldn't see multi-shot animation (visual) from its arrow so it was hard for me to measure the cast time of its arrows


Update:

1. I mentioned that while you're attacking the target, If you do petFollow-petAttack, Skulker stops doing any damage and just follows you (even if you try multiple targets)
2. Skulker does not have any animation for bow attacking (Minor)

[Quicksand]

You can check both on wowhead if it's not updated for 7.2. skulker has 80% of your AP, skulker shot is 75% weapom dmg, arrow spray is 230%

Update @ 19-04-2017, 19:28:01

And yeah, animation is bugged, will fix it

[Quicksand]

Yeah, check them on wowhead, it says there the values, seemingly they did not change it in 7.2 (look at Effect# 2 for Skulker Shot -> Weapon Damage % - Value 75, and look at Effect#2 for Arrow Spray -> Weapon Damage % - Value 230)
