Summons keep destroying loot with their AoE

Post by MissEvelyn » Wed Jan 23, 2019 7:16 am

I don't know where else to put this, but I cannot count how many times I've lost boss loot just because a summoned creature decided to use an ability or cast a spell that does area of effect damage, and in turn all the corpses are destroyed near it.

Is there anything that can be done about this? Perhaps change it so that area of effect spells and abilities don't affect corpses?

Quite a few of the summon abilities have been fixed to not destroy loot, most notably the Monolithic Elementals, except for the Earth one.
Might be worth doing a few tests and doing up a list of which ones still do destroy loot with their abilities so the team can fix them also?

Yeah unfortunately if I whip out earth I do instantly unsummon it since Earthquake does in fact just go ahead and shake the loot etch a sketch. Sorry buddy.

Along with the earth elemental, the warlock summons who use spells to damage are also guilty in this.
