Subject: Problems with Misdirect?

Did I miss something in the patchnotes or have I been extremely lucky?

After the patch suddenly Misdirect has failed on a few occations - making pulling in Karahzan a real gamble!
Latest use was on the Prince and instead of going for the tank - WHAM - a very dead hunter.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Misdirection is only transferring threat from the first two sources of damage done by the hunter. This is a known issue and will get fixed in an upcoming patch.

I've seen another problem with misdirection. Apparently, when the hunter uses it on the mage in the group, the mage gets agro.

lol As for the misdirect bug, yes it is a known issue. It only takes from the first two shots.

Randy, I don't really see what the problem you are referring to is........

Adam MD'd onto Sheri in one run...and one of Tone's totems in the next.

 

[Xandar]

I meant, as long as the mage gets the aggro and not the hunter, where's the problem *grin*

 

[Durruck]

lol. Point taken. Kinda funny thing... Sheri survived the pull. Awesome job to Angie still finding a way to get agrro despite the mean hunter's misdirection problem

I don't see you defending the poor totem though. I mean it has feelings too you know. For the record, the short gnome is exactly the same size as a totem and she was standing on it Just so you know ...

 

[Xandar]

so, your saying you were actually targeting the gnome (mage one) and missed and hit the totem.......

 

[Allanon]

oh man ... caught!

Hum...Adam better have his feign death available at all times. You never know when I might get the urge to invis and run.
