Miscellaneous: Mob health bars not updating / targeting issue

[paulgiamatti]

Just thought I'd get this thread started even though I don't know exactly what causes it. Have noticed it will also make me stop swinging at the mob if I'm meleeing, so it's basically registering that my target is null but the UI still displays the mob I had targeted with a static health bar.

Never noticed this bug prior to the last patch. If you know how to repro please post how - might have something to do with sneak, or spellcasting/using clickies while a mob is targeted.

Correctable by clearing your target and retargeting the mob.

Old bug, possibly related to use of tab key. When I say old, I first noticed it in 2011. There might be an old thread on it. Quickest workaround in play seems to be attack off, esc to clear target, then cycle visible targets key to get your target back, then attack on, which can usually be completed in ~ 1 sec.

i think those are related, if you /target while having a target and it targets nothing, you need to refresh target, like you lost your actual target even tho its still showing.

Charmed mob hp values also bug out. After breaking charm I have to log out or recharm and engage a mob for it to update their hp when targeted. Sadly I don't think there are any c++ devs who are very active on the server so I don't see this being fixed. Or if it even can in the first place due to being a client thing.

This happens to me when I try to /target something or someone while attacking a mob. It doesn't seem to matter if the target is in range or not.
