Possible bug with lifedrain attacks? - developers please read

That's what I thought. And it is confirmed behaviour, since all three of us - me, Norfleet and Zen, have seen it with mirror-imaged targets.


As for Zen's comments about possibiluty of lifedrain attak draining fatique witout penetrating target's protection - it is possible, of course but I think there is more than that.

My Air Queen for example, with 9 mirrorimages and high defense rating, was hit for fatique 2 times per turn, with every swing of Icedevil's sword. Even if she was drained because she was hit but her armor was not penetrated every time (which was quite unlikely in that case) the icedivel had to hit the one correct image out of 9 once or twice _every_ turn. It is possible but very unlikely statisically.

I think lifedrain attack could be buged twice in fact: first beacuse it is draining fatique despite dealing no damage, contrarery to the above quote by developres, and secondary because it ignores mirrorimages alltogether, always striking "correct" image.


In fact today my fully equpied Odin was attacked by AQ with wraithsword. Despite casting 7 mirror images authomatically he was instantly fatique-drained to 100+, because AQ was hiting him every or almost every singly time that she striked, withough inflicting any hitpoint damage or breaking mirrorimage. (and he was +4 defense on top of his defense boosting gear due to water 9, in addition to having 7 mirrorimages due to air3)
