Thirst bug

Character: necro
Published: 2003-04-13 10:42 UTC

Description

A rager bloodthirsted, got dirt kicked, I slept him and fully spelled him up, but the bloodthirst didn't wear off while he was slept for about 6-7 ticks, and none of the damage effects (poison, crimson) happened on the ticks. I have the log if you need it, but the only relevant parts are him being slept, "look" showing him thirsted 6 ticks later while slept, and ticks passing by without damage happening.

spelled him up, but the bloodthirst didn't wear off while he
was slept for about 6-7 ticks, and none of the damage effects

Bloodthirst allows them to shrug off the short term affects of those spells, but they pay for it when their bloodthirst wears off. Sounds like you slept him right after he bloodthirsted, which would make sense.
