The Lost City of Amdapor Glitch - Unable to recieve Prey Debuff

[Diyne]

Date & Time:
6/24/2014 7:30 PM PST, Though have had this happen repeatedly since 2.2 was released.

Frequency:
Always


Character Name:
Diyne Ikapine

Race:
Lalafell

World:
Balmung

Class/Level:
Paladin

Area and Coordinates:
The Lost City of Amdapor. First Boss - Decaying Gourmand

Party or Solo:
Party - 4 Members

Monster Name:
Decaying Gourmand

In-Game Time:
Any

Steps:
1. Be shorter (Actual character height.) than your party members.
2. Engage Decaying Gourmand
3. Wait for it to give someone the "Prey" debuff.
4. Attempt to cross the target line to a player to change Prey's target to you instead of that player.
5. If the player with the Prey debuff is taller than you, you are not able to receive the Prey debuff.

I have attempted to receive the Prey debuff for ages now, off of different players. At first we thought it was kind of funny and would joke that I was "simply too short" to reach the channeling line. As a Lalafell, I only seem to be able to change the Prey target if the person with the debuff is also a Lalafell. Jumping repeatedly can sometimes work as well with taller party members. Other friends report similar issues as Miqo'te when trying to move the debuff from an Elezen or Roegadyn to themselves.

Uhmm as far as i know you have to "touch" the player them self in order to pass the debuff. not by crossing the line

I can confirm, that even if you "Touch" the players it doesn't always work unless they're of the certain matching. Hyur and Miqo'tes work, but Miqo'tes cannot grab from Elezen, Roegadyn and Lalafel.

I actually didn't know you could pass that debuff, I'll have to try that next time!

It seems to sometimes work with a taller player if both players are already very close to the boss. If they're far away though, it nearly never works, even when touching the other player. (Assuming the target is taller than you.)
