Encounter breaking solo, any ideas?

Revel · 03-11-2008, 03:39 AM

Anyone else had this happen to them?

Scenario is this: I have a charmed pet, and it's tanking an encounter. Charm breaks prematurely, and then the encounter breaks instantly, even though it's not beyond leash range and I've done damage (sometimes major amounts) to it. It's happening to me in Chel'sith right now, and I haven't seen anyone else mention it. Weird?

Edit: Hm, now had it happen without the pet up. Must be something I'm doing, but this hasn't happened to be before. No, I'm not using Thought Snap or Amnesia.. just Mez, Root, Debuffs and Nukes. I'm perplexed.

Any mob in Chelsith or partic ones? And is this happening outside that zone elsewhere, too?

A lot of Chelsith is scripted, so I wonder if that's relevant to your situ. Although I have to say from all the times I went in there, they never reset like that on me...although it would have helped from time to time, to be sure. =P

It was just the named Fishmen, and so far it was only in Chel'sith. It was really strange, because it was particularly random and my actions/gear/etc were all things I had done before. Eventually, I just got a pull where whatever I did to trigger it didn't happen. Everytime the named was in the yellow though, and not mezzed at the time, but rooted or stunned.

It definitely broke all 3 times that charm broke while it was aggro on the charmed mob, though. My guess there is that it's like the thought snap bug - when the mob is trying to hit an encounter that's no longer an enemy, it just breaks (instead of properly trying to go to the next person on the hate list, me). I'm just really confused at how it broke when there was no charmed mob for the entire fight. My uneducated guess now after thinking about what was happening during the encounter is that during stun, mobs have screwed up aggro, and somehow my stunning them locked them on a non-target.

In any case, something is messed up. I guess that's an understatement. :P

It happened to me 3 days ago. I had the enthraller to 3% - enthraller dispells my charm which in turn broke the whole encounter. I got a few phone calls from my roommates up stairs asking if everything was ok after i screamed 'fuck' for a nice long 4 seconds.

Yeah, the enthraller was one. The grand devoter was also getting me, too. Oh well.
