Drain vigor skill heals Grobull the Transmuted (Darkshade II boss bug)

I'm not sure how long the bug has been around, but I noticed first time a few days ago, and then again today. If you use the Drain Vigor skill on Grobull the Transmuted in Darkshade II (the netch boss), it doesn't damage him, it massively heals him. Just a few seconds of drain vigor on Grobull will heal him back to 100% health.

Its odd that it heals him. Are you using it when he's downed? Because normally he reflects attacks when he's not downed, and I wonder if that's contributing to the bug.

Not a bug? When the netch is shielded it reflects all your single target direct skills - if you throw sorcerer's crystal fragments at him, he will hit you back with them. Not only the damage portion is reflected, but all additional (and status) effects as well.

Just kill the adds until he breaks his shield and drops on the ground, stop suiciding on the shielded boss.

I'm trying to report a bug to other players here. This is a bug, not a play style you disagree with.

The skill heals Grobull whether in the air and shielded or on the ground when he's supposed to take dps. And it super heals him. Grobull turns drain vigor into a super heal skill for him.

Its working as intended because that drain skill heals based on missing health. As a boss he has a ton of health and is reflecting that exact skill back at you while you're channeling it. Working exactly as intended.

Grobull isn't supposed to be reflecting skills when he's on the ground though. Its a 3 second duration, so as long as he's downed for the whole portion of the channel, it shouldn't be healing him, right? Now, if the skill is still going once the reflect turns on again, then, yeah, working as intended.

They said that Grobull is reflecting while grounded. That is NOT intended behavior.

Remember when if you casted Caltrops on Grobull, you would rubberband around the entire area?

Pepperidge Farm remembers....


(That was a funny, frustrating bug from a few years ago. Seems that boss is buggy by nature. He's a real gas.)

Drain Vigor is 25% of your missing health back every second. Reflected skills count as being sent from the reflector. In essence, you're giving him a 25% missing health heal.
