Anyone Else Getting Attacked by Their Own Pets?

I've been taking damage pretty regularly during the Tower Defense portion of the BAF. I eventually figured out it is coming from Jack Frost attacking me. I don't have any screen captures or notes on it. I do have Arctic Air running most of the time, and it has a Contagious Confusion proc (which used to be bugged and cause the same problem). If it happened during beta I never noticed it. Is this happening to anyone else?

The escapees have some kind of confusion aura - not sure exactly how it works, but it's not a bug.

Yeah. The confuse aura stacks pretty well. Accidentally killed a Controller with my Blaster.

Interesting, I haven't experienced this. I usually have my 6 spiders and 2 lore pets in front of the doors for that part. Escapees don't make it very far out of the door though. Pet hp stays at 100 so they're not hitting eachother.

"My 6 spiders" would mean you're a SoA, right? TT: Leadership gives Confuse protection.

Okay. Glad someone spelled this out. Thought I was experiencing a bug when I had BAF escapees conning ally to me.

Everyone would be to busy trying to kill each other to bother with the mobs.

This... Kestrel kept getting zarked by Cardinal (her Adept side-kick) every once in awhile last night. 'Also got shot at by a Mastermind team-mate's demons. It was very "Hey! Watch where you're firing that thing!"

I watched a Devices Blaster get seriously pwnt by his own pile of Trip Mines because he was still right there (planting another mine) when the escapees came through the door.

I knew about the confuse, and was kind of wondering why I wasn't seeing it more on my own character. Then I realized... Tactics give protection and resistance to it.

As a traps corr, I noticed pretty quick when my trip mines turned on my league. Those poor squishies.

Yeah that is very nice. Although my Mastermind did manage to get confused through tactics on one occasion.

<3 Tactics on Alpha. Just have to sit my pets on the grass verge and order em to stay/aggresive.

The buggers never bloody stay though....

I was on my Radfender once and got to the first Kill Rommy mission. I was the first one out the door, and Daedalus starts attacking me. He conned as an ally but he still put me down with extreme prejudice. I was dumbfounded.

I felt very guilty when Confuse hit me jsut as I hit Power Sink followed by a qued up Footstomp around 4 teammates and a bunch of Escapes.

Much " OMG!!" ...." WTH happened to my end" ...." detoggled bleh " etc was had as Teammates went flying into the air drained of thier end.

Oh, man, Breog - your post made me laugh for a long while. I'm glad my Elec/ Tanker chose Tactics rather than Power Surge after all. I haven't suffered the Confusion yet (though I just may, since Tactics's Confuse resistance can be overwhelmed)...


Current primary characters, all on Guardian:
The Amber Fist (Elec/Stone Tanker) | Pixelbeater (Fire/Kin Corr) | The Sequencer (Bots/Traps MM)
Blakkat (Claws/Dark Brute) | Mhogus'thra (Ill/Dark Cont) | Wyldhunt (Beast/Dark MM)

I've heard some pretty awesome stories, but i think the best so far was when someone hit thier Ion Judgement confused, and shocked the entire leage (t4 ion.. it bounced a lot) as everyone was grouped around some of the spawn points. Needless to say, it was pretty funny.

Wow. I havnt been attacked by my own pets since.... err... well before ED. One of the early attempts to make controller pets perm would have them sometimes go hostile after a zone/map change.

I would bet your right about the proc... or it could be something else.

Can I team with you and work on that badge? JK

Maybe some damage dealt to ally badges could be fun though.

This would be hilarious to see a capture of. I only have a few toons with Trip Mine but I can just see setting one as the escapees run by and thinking 'Uh oh...why are the mines blink...?'

Having seen the proc in action post-I20, it's not the proc. If your pets are getting confused on the BAF, then it's the mobs with a confuse aura.
