Rogue reports combat after Sap again on October 7
A nearby enemy may attack the Rogue after . An October 7 report adds to an earlier video and several player reports, but build 70245 remains unconfirmed.
Status: Issue #116 is open and marked Pending Approval. The new report does not name a build, so status on 70245 is unknown.
Description
On October 7 at 10:19 MSK, a beta player reported that Sapping some creatures enters combat and sometimes breaks . This adds to open issue #116, where a nearby enemy attacked the Rogue after another target was Sapped. The #116 author attached a video. Two other players described similar behavior in an October 1 forum thread. The Forever spell record says should retain and generate no threat. The new reporter did not name a build, so behavior on 1.60.1.70245 is unverified.
Effect
When setting up a dungeon pull, do not rely on to keep nearby creatures out of combat. Coordinate with the tank before testing this crowd control.
How to reproduce it
- A Rogue at level 10 or higher enters and finds two out-of-combat humanoids close enough to support each other. These are the conditions in issue #116.
- one creature. Check whether the other attacks and whether the Rogue enters combat. Record whether remains active.
- If you repeat the test on build 1.60.1.70245, include the build, creature names and result in the original thread. No workaround is verified.
Further conditions
- This is an archive backfill with an October 7 report. Old comments on the Wowhead page refer to other game versions and do not verify the Forever issue.
- Closed issue #199 concerned immediate combat with the Sapped target itself. A community tracker maintainer promised a fix in a future build on October 2. There is no confirmation that it works on 70245.
