Bug/Glitch[edit]

I'm experiencing a bug/glitch where after I have casted Symbiotic Bond on my pet and I'm disconnected while it is active on my pet, after I reconnect to my game, The skill icon for Symbiotic bond appears in my upkeep bar. I've played with this and have some additional info.

  • The bug/glitch only works when you have Symbiotic Bond casted on a pet and you disconnect and reconnect to your game.
  • When the skill is supposed to end, the skill icon on the Upkeep Bar does not go away, but you are able to recast it on your pet and have it appear normally.
  • You are able to Ctrl+Click the icon to call out that you are "maintaining Symbiotic Bond on Pet - <Pet Name>." like you would any other maintained enchantment spell.
  • You are unable to dismiss the skill by double-clicking the icon like you would normally for maintained enchantments.

That's all I have, i will continue looking into this personally.

Also, here's some screenies

Showing that it's not appearing where it should.

I just got the same glitch today I wonder if it ever ends? 202.124.127.38 01:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Add Enduring Harmony and you have a quite absurdly long buff (450 seconds equaling 7.5 minutes)... who wants to wait that much?^^ Noctarch 00:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
This also happens occasionally with parasitic bond (wonder if the name bond has something to do with the glitch lol)Crimmastermind 02:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Skill Change would be nice[edit]

This skill would be much more useful if it worked both ways. As in it still works the way it does but also half the damage dealt to you is redirected to your pet making it like you and your pet share one big health bar and are "one".Would also fit the name better as symbiotic is most often used to refer to creatures that depend on each other. This would also make hearty pets more useful.

Also, add in if one of you gets healed, half of the healing is redirected to the other. Too bad that would be an extremely long skill descriptionUr Just Jealous 23:32, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I think they should change it that you get the Health regen, and half the damage from your pet is redirected to you. Then it would really be symbiotic. Your pet takes half damage, and you have health regen(to offset the damage taken).DevilJinKazama 15:30, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Shout. Energy: 25 Recharge: 55 sec (120...264...300 seconds.) You and your pet each receive half of each other's damage and healing while this shout is active. You and your pet do not regenerate health while this is active. How about that? Greevar 22:42, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion[edit]

It's the longest shout in game available for players. Shouldn't it be mentioned?

It isn't. This one Norn shout lasts for a few hours. ---Chaos- (talk) -- 17:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

late response to the glitch subject near the top[edit]

This is also the case when you win a battle and were holding an item before the end of the battle; You will still be holding the item without any of the benefits of the item, nor of the upkeep monitor. (Protective was Kaolai not giving party healing) 168.223.11.246 16:41, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
