    Greater Faydark - no Weakness triggers using any warder.
    Go to Great Divide - all good!
    Back to Greater Faydark - no Weakness triggers.
    Bug report sent.
    Is this just me? If so, I'll keep trying to figure it out.

    Not just you, was an issue on Beta as well. Seems you don't get procs at low levels.

    It's not a bug - They aren't a mechanic at that level.

    Since we are max level, that shouldn't be happening? Theoretically, my abilities shouldn't change every time I zone into a different area.

    Could you give another example of any other classes abilities not working at all when mentored to low levels?
  6. Taled Well-Known Member

    Weaknesses aren't *your* abilities - They're triggered by the pet, which doesn't have the ability to cast them at the lower levels. Whether or not that *should* be the case is debatable, but it's not a bug that a pet doesn't cast an ability it doesn't have at that level.

    Not off the top of my head, because I don't play all 26 classes. I would assume that Channelers are the only other class that run in to the issue, because they're the only other class that has pet-specific abilities that are granted by level.

    (Edit: )

    That said, if you wanted any chance of this really being looked at as a bug, you should post it in the bug report forum and not the server forum. I don't think you'll get a different response, but maybe the devs will take your feedback as a suggestion and change the way weaknesses work so that when mentored the pets can use them.

    On a side note - The 'Unchained Ferocity' AA in the Heroic tree will still allow you to trigger weaknesses and use advantages/primals while mentored to level 5.

    I tested by chronomentoring to level 5 on live just to check it.

    I already submitted a bug report in game. Here I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong that I could fix. I just will stay away from those zones if needed.

    Yeah, I don't think it's a bug, I think it's just a byproduct of how beastlord pet mechanics work. Since beastlords don't get advantages until level 18, level 1-17 pets simply wouldn't trigger them.

    The Unchained Ferocity AA will allow you to use advantages without a pet trigger.
