Turn 12 and 13 bug?

[Makado]

So remember how in Turn 7 the adds would spawn and no matter how fast you grab them they would run halfway across the map? Well the same thing is happening in 12 and 13, the Bennus in 12 and the Scourges in 13 ( we have only been to the third one so far) even when hit the instant they are targetable run off and sometimes even hit a healer.

Please fix this as you did with Turn 7 please! It is really annoying and I'm not sure how you missed that these adds act the same as 7 did before it was fixed. Thank you.

That doesn't happen in T12 for myself unless I am just slow to pick up the adds.

This is true for me as well. My whm even has Med2 and regen up when they spawn.

it happen sometime with my group.
our usual suspect is EOS.
sometime WHM might pull it if he/she just finish casting big AOE heal right when add spawn.

The point I'm making is that even after I get aggro on them because they first had aggro on a healer they continue to them even though I have hate. That's fine if your healers just happen to not have healed or whatever, but it is the same concept as what was going on in Turn 7 which they acknowledged and patched.

It's basically an issue where the first person to get hate on a freshly spawned enemy will have that enemy run over to them, smack them once, then run back to the tank. If you hit it while it's still buffering (aka before it becomes ~active~) then it won't run over to the healers. Haven't actually tested it, but much like the dragons in T5, if you pop a CD it generates a small amount of hate - so potentially a solution is to pop a CD as it spawns and then use your combo'd Savage/Skull Sunder/etc. Of course this won't take hate over Med 2 ticks, but it will give you initial aggro if nothing happened before the CD is popped which should keep it in place. If not, I suppose it's just about not healing until after the add spawns... not the best solution but could be the only option.

How are you pulling hate on adds though?

I don't remember them patching anything about it - this is something in the fundamental mechanics of the game as a whole, not just a certain fight. You have to hit them fast before they fully register a healer as having aggro - Rage of Halone or Butcher's Block is too slow to do this, and you need Provoke for the tank swap, so use a combo'd Savage Blade or Skull Sunder for that quick hit.

And I might add, in case of Paladin, using OFF-GCD skills like Circle of Scorn or Spirits Within to fill that time/delay between Savage Blade and Rage of Halone. This way I build a solid emnity on the adds.

Sounds like you're just not picking them up fast enough. They're targetable by aoe attacks like Flash and Overpower (and show up in the enmity list) for at least a second before they complete their "spawn" animation which is when you should be doing something to pick them up before they go munch on a healer.
