Interesting that about the enrage - will try that out.

As for the plague strike/disease tick, I always used to think that it wasn't a bug - e.g. my CH has 625 on H/A.

If he then gets buffedand does one of his usual bull rancor expeditions - and gets hit on H/A - it will never go beyond what your base H/A (or M for that matter) is no matter how long it lasts. You may get struck more than once on a bar and it may go more quickly - but in many, many expeditions from mid last year to present I've never seen it try to eat into your buff pool as well as your base HAM.

Imagine if it did tick on my CH for more than my base 625 - It would be perilous / dangerous when buffs wear off and you were suddenly into negative HAM instead of at 1.

But - that being said, I can see it as a bug after seeing you describe it that way and thinking about it - and therefore also see no harm in getting a fix so that while buffs last that plagues/disease can build up to what your HAM consists of (e.g. 2500 or whatever) - with the caveat that when buffs (mind or H/A) wear off that you end up at 1 as you do currently. Negative ham giving instant triple incaps would not be good.

edit 2: Hmm, thinking about it more - if it was "fixed" so that it ate intothe buff pool as well as base HAM, would make my task asa creature handler searching for a bull rancor a wee bit too tricky probably. No doc skills (or med for that matter now) on my ch.

Then how come combat medics can do this?

Not going to take this OT by talking about combat meds here - didn't mention anything about them above. If they have something broken, that's something for their forum, not here.

What I will say is that plague strike or disease (and I've been in a situation where I've been diseased enough bydiseases from outside of the bull ranc/screecher world to find out) doesn't eat more than base HAM.

That's the case wether you are buffed or not. You get to 1 HAM and you stop there even if you see it ticking.

So, in your request for a fix to make it so that it eats into a buffed HAM zone, all I'm suggesting is that IF this is done, the devs don't break it so that you get into a situation where you could triple incap if you have no way of stopping/countering the disease. As it is currently.

More succintly - if they fix it, hope they don't break another part of the same game part.

Never knew that, messed up if it is the case.
