R54 Water Elemental nerf

Hey everyone,

anyone else noticed the huge hp drop on water elementals? Also they seem to not heal as consistent as before. Did i miss that in the patch notes or didnt they menion it?

 

The enemies or the pets?

 

the pets

 

I noticed that. I noticed they didn't seem to heal as often in R53. Seems even worse now. I was struggling in the mage room at The Rise in R54. In R53, I was basically running through there like a knife through hot butter. Balance, am I right?

I honestly thought that maybe there was a bug where the elemental pet wouldn't heal you unless you were constantly moving, but I'm not so sure about that. It also almost seems like they have a hidden focus pool or something. Seems like they will heal more when they are freshly summoned, and then heals become very rare.

 

I know that they said the fixed a bug in summon's leveling, so maybe your skill is too low for what your water Ele was supposed to have? talking out of my *** here I haven't actually tried it out yet.

 

No, think you are 100% correct.

 

What do you mean by summons leveling? Like the level of your summon elemental skill, or are you suggesting that skills from taming now impact the summoned elementals? My water elemental summon skill is 90ish.

 

i am confused too, the strenght of the elemental is based on how high you have the skill right? Mine was on grandmaster in R53 and obviously still is in R54. But instead of 470hp my elemental has now only 332.

 

Is what I found from the release notes, so nothing pointing in the remaining ght direction, might be a bug then, or it is looking at more than just the summons skill lvl!

 

That sounds like they should be stronger, not weaker...

 

Yeah. My Water Ele lost about 200hp's.

My Water Elemental is Lvl 102.

 

they wrote something about a HP bug in the Release:
"...

• Fixed an issue with summoned creatures having less total hit points.

..."
so 785 should be ok again? else do a bug report

 

I noticed my water ele health went back up. Still doesn't seem to be healing as often as it used to.

 

Have you tried changing his stance (Aggressive, defensive or Passive)? I think that might play with how often/fast the attack or heal

 

I haven't put it on aggressive. I've tried the default (defensive) and also passive. Doesn't seem to matter.

 

I also noticed them not healing as much in R53. So now it's worse? Yay!

One thing that might be related is that in R53 they added a new "follow close"/"follow distant" option to the right-click menu for pets. It also doesn't get saved when you call a new elemental, and always defaults to close (I think).

 

Could you get some objective numbers on this?

 

Not sure how I would do that.

 

Examine your logs and keep records of how much/often your elemental is healing. Also, include things like your Elementals Level/Effectiveness.

 

Okay, I will research and give it a shot
