[Info needed] Target dodges every shot

7/3/2017 5:35 PM
Title: Target dodges every shot.
Reproduction Rate: 10% maybe?
Blocker? No.
Details: Sometimes, I'll get into a situation where a target will dodge all my shots (ranged). I'm on flat ground with my target when this happens. It lasts for a few seconds then clears. I think it might be related to a debuff from my summoned Will-O-Wisp.
Steps to Reproduce: Just summon a Will-O-Wisp and fight some mobs.

I'm still getting this issue. I'm not really sure if it's the Will-O-Wisp but it definitely needs some attention.

Similar issue, says it is known, but no bug #?

 

They can cast dodge on themselves now. It's not a bug. It last for 30 seconds, just like player dodge.

OK, I was out fighting Elder Wolves and Obsidian Wolves and this happens about 50% of the time (so wolves are a much better repro case). I would engage the wolf and the first shot or two (ranged) would do some damage. Then, it appeared to me, the AI would decide for the wolf to turn and walk away and then, from that point, all shots are dodged for 10 to 15 seconds even if the wolf decides to again turn around and attack me (which was like every time). At this point, there's nothing to do but run around and avoid getting hit as much as possible until the bug wears off.

 

This is not the Dodged message (white text) you get when a mob actually dodges your attack. This is the Dodged message (gray text) that you get when you're in a position where you are not allowed to attack the mob. This is on flat ground where the mob could easily path to me.

 

I think we need to try to narrow down what is going on here in terms of the exact reproducible steps. Even with a willow wisp, I cannot repro. The only time I see this is when the NPC is hiding behind something (even if it is small, like a lamp post.) but those are all line of sight issues. If I submit this with what we have now I'm pretty sure we won't get to the bottom of what you are seeing. I'm looking for a 100% repro rate steps.
That linked issue is related to Elf fire mages not necessarily Crag Foothills mobs: 47068 where they would also sometimes shoot after death and other general odd behavior - seemed network issue related. That bug remains open.

 

Try Elder Wolves and Obsidian Wolves. I can reproduce at least 50% on those.

 

its an old bug.İ cant use my fire spells on the top of rocks to downside enemies.I saw archer's can hit on youtube.Please fix this.If it isnt bug what is the reason to be ''range'' spells

 

@Barugon I get this on Lana, ranged shots many a time if the mob has decided to turn away from you its all but guaranteed you'll be throwing your best at it and it dodges everything. Wolves are bad for this as they like to turn and run at the end..

 

This is not an old bug. It's started in R43. The behavior that you're talking about is intended - if a mob can't reach you or attack you with some sort of ranged attack then you're not allowed to attack that mob either.

 

This is still a problem on QA.

 

And it's still a problem on QA, so I guess it'll still be a problem on the live server tomorrow.

 

@Lexie
Below is a video showing the issue (which still exists in R44). In the video, I jump on a rock, which triggers leashing behavior in the elf fighter. I then immediately get off of the rock, the elf fighter turns around and attacks me again but all my shots are dodged for a few seconds. I can easily reproduce this.
