Fixed Loot bonus causes Mercenaries to malfunction

Healer mercs went from healing 100-120k hp with Fervent light down to 45-55k hp.... my pet and tank are getting worked hard in ToL. Something changed.

Category: Mercenaries [Can Repro]
Date/Time: Tue Nov 08 16:28:29 2022

Character: Level 120 Necromancer (Main)
Zone: Bloodfalls
Location: 638.64, -516.87, 7.59, 232.43

Target NPC: Braever
Target Location: 634.63, -526.63, 7.97, 140.75

Description: It seems that journeyman healer mercs are healing at half of what they used to as of this morning. Fervent light used to heal 100-120k hp is now only healing for 45-55k... Not sure what happened.

What server? What model merc?

Seems this bug happened around the time the bonus was applied. Wasn't having issues earlier, but now pet/tank having a hard time.

I can actually confirm this myself. No change in group makeup, fighting the same mobs: (Placebo is my level 120 J5 healer merc)

Tunare, Dark Elf Healer. But others are having same problem with all different models.

Same problem on Rathe its not the models. I use Gnomes and DE and were fine this morning. Many are having the same problems. So I guess we get 2x exp, stuff and named with half heals from mercs. Is that how it works?

Sound like that is the case... Not sure how you update the exp and stuff, but somehow mess up merc healing? lol

Seeing it also on Coirnav, Clockwork merc and Froggy merc

Same issue on FV. Healer merc not healing and DPS mercs insane aggro as well. Sitting at 98 ish aggro and with me spamming hate spells and taps on SK. Something isn't right.

Healing seems to have been cut in half if not more. Lvl 110 mercs on Coirnav.

I am having the same issue on Xegony. Multiple different max AA 120 merc healers healing for very little.

Same on Luclin, froglok and HE merc healers.

Appears to affect only direct heals, and only from mercs. My heals land perfectly normally and apparently HoT / delayed heals work fine, though I've blocked all those on me and my pet

Across the board. FV server and level 87, same mob I’ve taken down multiple times while falling asleep almost rolled me this afternoon thanks to a lack of heals I couldn’t keep up with

I wonder if merc AAs are just not applying or something.

109 mage with 107 enchanter, same issue with both cleric mercs healing, mobs that were tough but doable before are now taking down my pets due to lack of heals. I do not have any heals blocked.

Same on RF, Healer merc literally stopped being useful in the middle of killing a named, I had been killing multiple times before.

Also had the healer merc just stand there and do nothing to heal up after getting rezzed back. Got buffs, no heal. Swapped out mercs, new healer healed, but same issues in combat.

I'm opening a new thread since I'm not sure if this is directly related to the healer merc issues which popped up yesterday....

Logged in last night, set up with the same buffs and everything as I always do, hit ToV/GD... and my SK could not keep agro over my two melee mercs on burn. On every other occasion, this has been brain dead easy to do. Last night, not a chance.

Yep healer heals are really bad now. I think they are upset over the lack of weapons and are on strike.

Right? huh. My tank merc sits there and slaps the mob while the healer merc looks around like "what is the meaning of life? Am I just a pixel?" and throws out a heal for a 3 year old bunny

I mean this is pretty much game breaking and needs immediate attention. We have 14 likes and nothing marked confirmed or needs more info. Lets get a hot fix going here guys or whatever you need to do

Not sure it is only lvl 120, logged in my 115 team and got wrecked grinding mobs i've killed 100s of times.
