Hi

I'm having this problem which I don't think is normal. usually when I have an army of >9 bone fiends. They will go crazy and attk me and my teammates. They become hostile to me despite that my vereta aura is still in PACE! The aura is still bonded and have not disappear from my "spells" screen
i really cant figure the rational behind this. Can someone please share your views with me???

thanks!

Perhaps it is a bug. I can understand this as Ive never seen anyone use Verata's Aura.

We need mor information about the situation. How are the minions becoming hostile? Did the primary MM die?

VA only re-aquires minions when it's cast. The 'aura' part just keeps them attached.

Depends on where you are - my guess is that a necro foe is using Verata's Aura after you do...

Is that so? but there is no enemies around me that could cast the verata aura... It looks more like a bug too me although I can't confirm...

So if anyone who is having the same problem like I did, let me know thanks~

it has become irritating when my team can killed all mobs but ended getting killed by my army of fiends.

Since no one ever uses Verata's Aura, I belive it's obviously a bug. It's best of you take some screenshots and file them to Anet.

I don't know if this has anything to do with this bug or not but several times in Tascas demise I have seen the stone summit dwarves suddenly turn on their own bone fiends and kill them.

When the master dies do the bone fiends become hostile to their own team - I never saw anything about that - but it seems to be what is happening - just curious.

Yes, minions become hostile to everything when the master dies. Also I think if you keep recasting vereta's aura the first original duration might still be triggered even if you keep recasting to keep it from ending. Just ideas though.

Previous guy is absolutly right....
the vertas aura duration is from the original trigger of it when it is cast on your minions
that means if your Verta's aura lasts 2minutes, even though you cast veratas aura again, your minions will still go hostile after two minutes. Its dependent on when you first cast it.

Verta's aura is not a useless skill it is very important when running Jagged Bones build in HA. Just because it is not popular doesnt mean it sucks.
