    1. Title: Summoned Daemon will occasionally attack itself with its Daemon Chaos ability
    2. Reproduction Rate: ???%
    3. Blocker: No
    4. Details: Summoned Daemons will occasionally inflict massive amounts of damage to themselves when they use their Daemon Chaos ability. It seems to happen when their attack animation plays but the enemy they targeted is slain before the "bolt" actually connects with their target.
    5. Steps to Reproduce: Step 1: Log into the game. Step 2: Enter a location where a summon skill can be used. Step 3: Summon a Daemon. Step 4: Order it to attack a weak mob from a distance. Step 5: Slay the Daemon's current target before its Daemon Chaos "bolt" reaches the target. Step 6: Hopefully the bug happens and you'll see the Daemon's projectile "hit" the corpse but take damage instead.
    6. User Specs: PC running Windows 10, 64 bit OS, Game Release 107

    Here are some logs when I was fighting a couple of Skeleton Road encounters:
    11/8/2022 6:24:54 PM] Balron <Armityle Krowely> takes 344 points of damage from Daemon Chaos.
    [6:44 PM]
    [11/8/2022 6:24:46 PM] Balron <Armityle Krowely> takes 364 points of critical damage from Daemon Chaos.
    [11/8/2022 6:24:46 PM] Balron <Armityle Krowely> takes 819 points of damage from Daemon Chaos.
    [11/8/2022 6:24:48 PM] Balron <Armityle Krowely> takes 658 points of damage from Daemon Chaos.
    [11/8/2022 6:24:52 PM] Balron <Armityle Krowely> takes 851 points of damage from Daemon Chaos.
    [11/8/2022 6:26:23 PM] Balron <Armityle Krowely> takes 3,289 points of critical damage from Daemon Chaos.

    That last one is especially surprising, considering that's 6 times its usual melee damage, and around 10-15x its normal Daemon Chaos damage.

    I'm not seeing this happen when testing. I'll try some more tomorrow. If you can provide the surrounding log entries for context, that could prove helpful to reproducing this. Thanks!

    I'm not entirely sure how helpful the logs would be: The only thing that was going on for some was that I cast Lightning Storm at full heat and wiped out the circle of ebon cultists for most of them, then for one of the instances I slew a skeleton before my Deamon's "bolt" could hit it while it was still alive (undead?).

    This almost sounds like the summoned daemon was taking damage from Chaotic Feedback or something an enemy cast on it, perhaps?

    It would have shown up on the logs, and nobody had cast Chaotic Feedback or anything that reflects the spell.

    I say leave it as is. Pretty funny. :D That is literally what chaos is and I am glad it happens. And no. Tamed pets are not chaos and are fluffy bundles of
    Love.


    Psst. @Ravalox Now please award me that Chaotic of New Britannia title and award as I am missing that one. Thanks . :) I am chaotic

    Not sure what is going on with this, if this is happening occasionally then something might trigger it? What is that debuff you talking about @Anpu

    Sorry. There's no debuff ON the Daemon. I was confusing something sorry.

    I am not able to replicate this at all. With or without Chaos Spec. In Offline I had a level 180 Summon Daemon attack a Practice Dummy and then I picked a scene at random (Tanglemire) and had it attack creatures in there. I was not seeing this happen at all.

    Some observations: The Original poster did not use the /bug command in the scene this was happening in.

    Obviously, from the chat logs they posted, something is happening. This is possibly a Need more information situation(?). I'm not able to reproduce this.
