Burning Hands Bug

Post by nick72ali » Thu Aug 09, 2018 4:14 am

When I cast burning hands on a group of enemies (with some friendlies in range of the spell), it worked like normal. Except my panther familiar still aggroed onto me as if I hit it. It did no damage to any of my allies like the wiki said it should, but it still aggroed my familiar and it killed me.

Much like the beloved housecat, if a panther familiar sees an opportunity to turn on it's master it always will.

Is there a way to change my familiar to something less... opportunistic?

You can change it any time you level up, if you were not aware.

I have found that when the Player Tool 1 is active on the familiar / summon, this bug doesn't happen.

So while it's not a solution per se, it is a workaround =)

And it’s a bit arbitrary, too. Had a wall of fire cast and the party member’s familiar/companion (ranger/panther) was fine until area transition. It killed me as I transitioned across.

Do we know if that bug only is for panthers, or for any other party summon, too? Because I have been very careful not to use Wall of Fire /other aoe when in a party with summons but it really does limit my TF spell selection even further since there are so few spells that won’t kill party members :)
