My warden's bear isn't hitting Zhaj'hassa The Forgotten in MoL...

SidraWillowsky · May 2020

I ran nMoL over the weekend with one of my guilds. I was disappointed because my DPS on the first boss (Zhaj) was a lot lower than it's been on other stack-and-burn type bosses- close to 10k lower than my DPS on Ra Kotu in HRC, for example. I took a look at my damage sources and noticed that something was missing. Notice it? (though the title of this post may give it away...):

My stupid bear was off doing god-knows-what the entire time. And it was definitely summoned, so it's not a case where I just forgot to do that. I found an older log from January as well, and same issue:

I've gone through other public MoL logs on ESOLogs and found the same with other wardens, both stam and mag- the bear isn't hitting on the Zhaj'hassa fight (but hits on all other fights). Google informs me that this apparently a known issue, but the posts I saw were from 8+ months ago.

If this is not somehow known to ZOS already, I'll move this to the Bug Report section. If it is, why hasn't it been fixed? It seems to have been going on for a very long time, and we've had several patches since then. Just... why? Do you WANT to push people away from playing wardens? Because stuff like this is doing a damn fine job with that...

Have you tried un-summoning bear and re-summoning in the Zhaj'hassa room? Sorc pets stand around and do nothing, as well, but it can be fixed by un-summoning and re-summoning them.

I've not, and I actually just read about that. I guess that'll work for me moving forward, but I do hope that ZOS will fix the issue entirely, since most people don't know that (and too few people play wardens that it seems like a lot don't notice and thus word of the issue and its fix isn't widespread).

This has been an issue on this fight for 3 years. I wouldn't hold your breath on a fix.

Oh dear god... ok, good to know. At least there's an easy fix for it.

Yeah it sucks. 100% of the time that happens so you need to remember to unsummon and resummon.

Pretty much this. I have not had a pet in there for a long time but it used to be the case that the pet did nothing unless it was summoned after you entered that room.
