Hunter-specific fix to bugged Hozen rares

Unread post by s1ncer1ty »

Hi all! I posted this in the rants thread in response to some folks having issues with bugged Hozen rares, but thought it might be worth a separate thread, in the event it's helpful (hopefully this isn't a no-no...).

I've found a semi-solution to the Hozen evade-bugging issue after searching the main Blizzard forums (credit for this discovery is not mine). A hunter's explosive trap seems to be the only thing that will do damage to a bugged Hozen rare. If you've got the tag, hooray, you can still get credit for a kill. It'll just take a while, spamming explosive trap at a bugged Hozen's feet. If you don't have the tag, you can still kill it if you're feeling charitable so it'll respawn like normal on your server.

I used this method successfully (if slowly) to down Major Nanners after he bugged on me at 1 million health. He evaded the first tick of the trap but then took damage for every subsequent tick. I didn't keep full track of my DPS during that time, but it seemed to level off at a whopping 1.4K. :D

Never had one bug like that and I've killed them all.

Haven't had one bug for me either, but I shall certainly keep this fix in mind, thank you much!

I've seen quite a few bugged out on my server so this is good to know. Even if I don't need them it'd be nice to be able to reset the spawn by finishing off the one that's bugged out.

I actually tried this a few times. HOWEVER, this method does not seem to work with Spriggan, because I've tried this a few times on him, the only trap that seems to work for him is ice trap. But a slow on an evading mob isn't going to do much...
I've also seen a paladan use that ability where they throw their hammer down on the ground deal some damage to an evading mantid
