Avatar procs from Primal Velium Weapons are currently bugged in several ways related to the size increase when the proc occurs and the decrease once the effect drops.

1) Based on testing Halflings and Gnomes do no grow or shrink as a result of avatar.

2) Barbarians grow slightly, and when the effect wears off they shrinks to Human size.

3) Dark Elves grow slightly, and when the effect wears off they shrink to Halfling size.

Will do more testing as I'm able for other races.

The following from the October 8th patch might need to be looked at.

"Haynar: player sizes used for calculations of player races to match client decompile. This fixes some Z calculations that were off.
Haynar: When illusions are applied, updated the size when a client playable race is used."

The shrink the occurs when activating an illusion(both the bugged and normal expected) and clicking it off stacks with bugged avatar strink when it is removed.

Barbarian logs in with avatar on (normal size due to zoning/logging in)

Activates dark elf illusion.

Clicks off avatar.

Sounds like AoN should spike in price to combat being shrunk in the midst of the zerg meta.

It seems that Gnome and Halfling are already at max shrink just from activating an illusion and triggering that bug, which is why the Avatar resize doesn't appear to effect size. If any natural Gnomes or Halflings with primal can see if their model size changes as a result of avatar being applied // wearing off - please post proof.

You aren't max shrunk, as a Halfling activating an illusion, and then removing that illusion shrinks you to gnome size, which is slightly larger than max shrink.

Tested this and shrink pot didn't further reduce their size.

Can confirm gnomes do not grow when avatar procs, nor shrink at the end of avatar.

Yes, Nilbog. This was all addressed about two months after it occured. Thanks :)

No, it's not fixed entirely. gnomes don't grow with Avatar proc still or shrink after buff leaves.

which is normal and expected behavior unrelated to this bug report.
