Selo's Consonant Chain and scarab mobs

[zanderklocke]

There is a bug I have found with the song and scarab modeled mobs with my level 60 bard. When I cast this song on scarabs, they non stop warp to me, as if I'm summoning them. This defeats the purpose of the song because of instead of walking to me slowly, they keep warping to on top of me regardless of how much I move. This behavior doesn't stop until the song effect ends. I guess it makes for an interesting way to pull, but it ensures I take a lot of damage.

I have observed this both with fire beetles in East Commonlands and scarabs at the NG camp in Sebilis.

Observed this again tonight in Sebilis when using Largo's Absonant Binding. This is likely an issue with most bard snares.

Someone told me this does the same thing with worm (bug) model mobs.

Yep this has been happening for a long time for me. I thought it was a funny bug at first but then one time I actually wanted to kite one a little bit and that doesn't work out so well when they non stop warp.

Does not seem to be limited to bugs, but any mob with +/- normal movement speed..tigers and rhinos do it to my druid in OT when snared/charmed as well..

The mob is sluggish and the snare is strong...

Perhaps the mob is becoming so snared it's speed clocks round below zero and the game interprets that to mean lightspeedahead?

I remember a bug in Baldurs Gate had a similar effect; if you cast a resist buff on highly resistant mobs the resist counter would loop back round to zero (making the mob highly nukable!).

Charmed mobs warp to you when you run away from them.

Tigers and rhinos can be snared just fine by bards.
