Dark Elf Racial ability - DO NOT USE part of it

[Kilrith]

As part of my ongoing desire to not be horribly killed every few feet by level 8+ Dark Elves that didn't know any better, I'm trying to inform people about a bug with the Dark Elf racial ability "Spawn of Haelifur."

When you summon your Spawn of Haelifur, it comes with three abilities: the buff that it gives you (which doesn't work until level 10) and two abilities called "Mutant Minions." It is those two abilities that you should NEVER use. When used, it summons two level 17 aggressive spiders (which may be higher level if you level up, I haven't had the desire to die to try it) that are NOT under your control...they will immediately attack, kill you, and then stand around next to your tombstone until some higher level comes to kill them (which likely won't happen since no one is high level yet) or the area crashes. They do NOT despawn, so everyone in that area will have to go around them if you summon them.

Ahhh so that's what they were!! My baby shaman turned a corner in newbland and got eaten by them before I could say "wtf?!" It was pretty funny.



That'll learn ya to make a dark elf!

Any blood mages with Child of Haelifur should also be aware that the mini buff he can give you to increase your heals by 10% will actually nullify any and all healing. Got killed a few times before I realized what was happening there in beta.

Ha, yes...well...hopefully it'll get fixed soon...I'm also looking forward to being able to actually use my Spawn of Haelifur at times other than when my Abomination dies midfight (for DE Necros out there, it is FAR faster to summon your Spawn of Haelifur than to recast your Abomination during a fight...just don't use Mutant Minions!)

It's been bugged quite often...I'm sure they know about it. Hopefully it will get fixed soon, I'm kind of curious what the Mutant Minions abilities are actually supposed to do.
