DC heals target Astropal bug

vickvega82 · March 2018

Running Cradle of the Death God this week on my DC, i was surprised to find that apparently DC Encounter healing abilities also heal Atropla. The 1st completion i had in the dungeon as a DC my healing totals were 131million (the other DC had 5million). So i thought that sounded like an absurd amount of healing for a 25 min dungeon run. So I made some inquiries and that's where i was informed of this problem that the DC heals the Boss. I was also told there was a bug where if you targeted him with a heal after Acerak, that the boss could be healed to full health. So me and my group when back in to see if we could generate this result. We in fact did get the bug to occur. After Acerak was defeated and the safety bubble had been popped, i targeted my party along with Astropal with a Bastion of health, the result was he went from Roughly 15% to 100% health. The healing done was recorded as 999 million. So this in fact leads me to believe this is a malfunction in the instance and not some horrible joke being perpetrated against DCs. I have attached 2 screen shots of the afore mentioned healing totals.

On a side note for the purpose of recreating this bug, it doesn't seem to be a consistent issue with the full health regen bug. I used the same 3 encounters (bastion of health, divine glow, astral shield) for 5 different runs. 4 of which i posted healing numbers between 110-130 million, indicating a steady amount of healing applied to the boss, and once the full regen happened after the safety bubble broke in the last phase.

Also, a member of my alliance reported a similar issue with a Lillend Companion managing to also heal the boss Via a paladin ability but that is not one i have verified myself.

I'm sure that means any group heals will work, templock, healidon, etc. This will need to be looked at asap, Noone needs to deal with a party blasting him back up to 100% health

I think it is caused by annointed army (see the first line and how many HP are given to Atropal):

So update, I infact was in a run where a Lillend healed Astropal to full after the Acerak fight. FWIW, although it is not my summoned companion, I do have a Lillend in an active slot, in case that somehow plays a part in the bug.

As anointed Army, with the Lillend today, I don't belie a we were under the effects of AA at the time, but I will pay attention to that now.

For years I've seen bosses inexplicably get healed to full health (e.g. the mindflayer in the Artificer's Workshop during the Day of the Dungeon Master event). I wonder if this is the cause.

Just don't aim a heal at the boss during the Acerak phase and you won't heal him, its kind of simple. Ofc, if you have anyone in the group using a healer pet, you have issues regardless.
