WoW PTR bug: Kill Command mimicked by foes

 

Here’s a weird World of Warcraft PTR bug that definitely needs addressing. Tig of Draenor reports a rather powerful bug that seems to make any mob mimic a hunter’s kill command whenever he uses it.

Tig writes,

Currently, when my pet performs a Kill Command on a mob, that mob will perform it’s own Kill Command back at it’s target. I say it’s target because I received the reflected Kill Command as the mob had me as it’s target and my boar Grar performed a Kill Command on it. I tried this with two different pets: Gahiji, a lvl 70 sabre cat that I tamed out in Skettis about an hour ago on the Test Realm, and Grar, a lvl 70 plagued swine that I’ve had since 60 on the live realms. Gahiji is at loyalty level 1 and Grar is at loyalty level 6. Gahiji knows no other skills except growl, and Grar knows Charge, Gore, Bite and Growl.

I was able to recreate this bug every time I used the Kill Command.

As you can probably guess, that’s a pretty big problem compared to the World of Warcraft animation bugs. Under certain circumstances, this can be an annoying bug as it makes bosses forcibly attack for more damage than they normally do.

Blizzard QA Hortus went onto the forum post and asked for additional information, and according to the sources there, it seems as if it happens with mobs on both Outland and Azeroth. Let’s hope this bug gets speedily addressed, as it could be devastating if placed live with the next patch.
