"Your animal companion attempts a Feral Lunge that deals +5-17 damage. If the attack stikes a foe who is attacking, that foe suffers from Bleeding for 3-21 seconds."

The bleeding duration for this skill appears to be broken - it doesn't last longer than three seconds (tested with 10 beast mastery); because pet damage isn't shown numerically it is difficult to determine if the additional damage factor is at least affected by beast mastery.

Not sure if this is a new thing for this skill or whether the other pet attack skills are similarly broken.

I'll test with my warrior and get back to this thread.

Digital Limit · Jun 04, 2005, 06:45 PM // 18:45

Just tested it and sure enough, the bleeding lasts but a mere 3 seconds before it quits. I tried the lowest level to the highest level, and noticed no difference in duration. Definitely a depressing bug.

Speaking of which - where do I report this bug? support.guildwars.com or something?

I would like to know this too, I am not sure if using the /bug command really works and there are some game ruining bugs which need to be rectified asap.

In the update list for Wednesday, June 1, on guildwars.com it says:

- Fixed skill Feral Lunge duration of bleeding effect.

Does it now seem that this has been incorrectly fixed in some way?

Silmor · Jun 04, 2005, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Apparently. No matter how much beast mastery you take, the bleeding duration is 3 seconds right now. If that was their intention (i.e. the bleeding duration is only supposed to be 3 seconds) then the skill description needs updating, and the skill can be dumped right into the garbage bin for being rendered worthless.

But I expect they meant to fix it but messed up somewhere along the line, so they just need to hear about it. support.guildwars.com would be a good way, I already /bug'ed it in the hopes of those still being read, and these forums are definitely read, so I'm sure it'll get their attention at some time or another.

Yes, I just tested it myself, and indeed the Feral Lunge only ever causes 3 seconds of bleeding.

This is really bad news for me, because I have a ranger with 13 in Beast Mastery, and Feral Lunge has always been my primary weapon

Digital Limit · Jun 05, 2005, 08:57 AM // 08:57

Yeah; as a warrior/ranger I was looking forward to using Feral Lunge, but now that seems to be a pipe dream.

I tested this on a setting of 0 and setting of 8 so yes it is broken. I am not sure that the bonus hit is happening either. This one is a pain to test without seeing how much damage the pet is really doing.

Yes it is...

Check my thoughts on transportation here

This thread has nothing to do with transportation.
