HoX bugged?

[bowiehero]

I just ran a HoX, and noticed the charmed puppies no longer accept morale-type buffs such as Rage, Greater Heroism, or Good Hope. Can anyone confirm this? We weren't able to test bard songs on them.

I don't remember about the others, but I'm sure Rage never worked since the first time I took my bard there. Maybe it's the same about the other ones, I don't remember casting GH on them.

They h ave never been able to be buffed with GH, Rage, or Good Hope.

Bard Songs work. Stat buffs (Bulls, Bears in particular) are handy.

Everything I've ever read on HoX says that Rage, Good Hope, and (Greater) Heroism don't work on the puppies. But the bard songs, even the one that gives Greater Heroism, work on them. I never saw any of these when I examined the puppies while on my wizard and I've been playing close to a year now.

Could've sworn at least Heroism spell used to work on them.

Thanks for clarifying.

This was probably stemming out some of the long standing myths with this raid. Some would insist on having it cast on them while others would scream not to give them GH because upping their saves makes it easier for them to save and break from the charm (both are untrue, they are immune to having GH cast on them and the charm is based on a set timer and no saves are involved). But used to hear stuff (and believe because that was all I was ever told) like this all the time, but more recently a lot of the myths have been quashed (like that bards do something special when charming them so its very important that the bard do this. Myth, it's just convenient to have them right there to buff them with songs and haste immediately. Only thing that helps charming is having Augment Summoning.)

Yup, already know 90% of that, just had it stuck in my head that I'd seen these buffs on their panel at some point.

Never can be sure when they patch something.
