Voidy summoned half deadFollow

Has anyone else had this problem? Doesn't seem to occur after any particular spell/event/quest/anything really - but when I jump on my horse after fighting, Voidy can be either at full health/mana or just under maximum of one or both, yet when get off my horse he comes out with only half life/mana, regardless of his pre-mounting health/mana status.

Am I missing something? I haven't played in a year so might be something that's changed in the time I've been away.

Thanks for reading.

I have been noticing this too for awhile. It seems to be random, where some of the time I dismount and my demon appears with initially half life/mana, but then after a short lag it reverts to full status. However, there are times when it stays low and you have to fill him back up yourself. This has occurred with both an imp and Felguard.

According to this thread, it appears lots of locks are experiencing this bug and no blue post has been made on the subject yet.

This happens to me as well. It might just be my imagination, but, I feel like if I wait for a second before issuing any commands the hp and mana bars refill. If I issue the attack command I end up with a 50% HP pet.

I notice this pretty much every time ever since, well, ever.

A wild guess would be that your pet receives some contribution from your stamina. Let's use some fictive numbers for simplicity:

Pet without stamina contribution: 10,000 health.

Pet with stamina contribution: 15,000 health.

Your pet's total health pool would be 15,000 health, but due to programming, glitching or whatever, when it is summoned, for a brief moment, it has 10,000 health, before it receives the final 5,000 contributed by your stamina. The total health pool still shows because the game remembers it, so you'd have a pet with 10,000 out of 15,000 health.

Since health doesn't regenerate during combat, with too much server lag, your pet won't regen its health before the 'combat - no health regen' mechanic steps in.

Again, just a wild guess, but I've seen this happen to my Hunter's pet as well.

Mazra: I think your speculation has merit. Also... your avatar keeps trying to eat me whenever I sleep, can you maybe talk to it... let it know that is not ok?

Mazra, that theory might be SOMEWHAT right.
But sometimes the server even forgets to regenerate the health when I unmount OOC. It really gets on my nerves, having to heal him nearly everytime I unmount. I haven't found out exactly WHEN it happens. I just know sometimes it does, sometimes not. Might be a serverlag though, since I only experienced it on a high population server in northrend so far.

[:mindboggle:]

I have no idea what might be causing it then. Server lag seems like the obvious answer, but meh.

I have only noticed this after patch 3.3

My big guy demon (serious senior moment going on right now... can't for the life of me remember its name), reappears after I dismount at 1/3 of its full health. Normally he has around 13,000. When I dismount he's around 5,500. If I wait a second or two, his health hops back up to full. It's really annoying when I want to dismount and quickly attack something, however.

I put in a ticket about it.

i presume his health is just adjusting for gear, talents and such.. tis probably why its being ghey.. in which case nothing much you can do but wait...

I tried getting nekid, and seeing what happened.
My gear accounted for around 5,000 of my demon's health.
So with moi, buck naked, my demon was a bit over 7,000 health.

I mounted, then dismounted... and... my demon was again at a bit over 5,000 health.
his health then proceeded to pop up to its new max of just over 7,000.

I got dressed again, my demon's health went up to around 13,000.
Mounted, dismounted.. and.. demon at just over 5,000 health again.
A second later, it pops back up to full health.

The real problem is that SOME times, his health does NOT pop back up to its max level, and it just crawls up there unless I cast a heal on him.

There is definitely a bug of some sort.
I have never seen this type of behaviour before. In my case, it started with patch 3.3

I have only come across this issue with my warlock, and this only since patch 3.3
this has never happened on any of my hunters.
and it has never happened on my warlock, until now.
