Every time I think I have a handle on POTD...

In a game mode that is designed as a player skill challenge, the monkey with an attack buff used a tank buster on the healer and instagibbed them. I fail to see why this should be surprising at all.

Do not think it is just referring to that but if it is you are right.


Also I am trying to see if this has to do with the "animation lock" issue, that vid in specific, and I think it does, with how I view things. You can see the BRD finished casting straight shot before the SCH died, but the buff was not applied yet. As it was walking away, the animation hit it, then he got the straight shot buff while being immune.

Another possibility the OP may be referring to is why did it walk back and come back again? It is a weird thing with this game. When a monster kills everyone that had hate on it (this case only the SCH even though animation lock/slow processing prevented the brd to be on the list as well) It goes to reset. However, while resetting, people can get on the hate list again (BRD and PLD hit it while it was walking back) so it came back to whoever was on the hate list after the reset. Since shield lob has enmity attached to it, it walked back for the PLD.

huh, thought straight shot buff applied right away, didn't think it was that slow.
