Headhunter is broken on mercs

Hi there,

i am not sure if this has been reported already so im sorry if it is a duplicate.

When you give a merc the headhunter, they pick up whatever mod it is that makes them flee from mosnters instead of attacking. I am assuming that this is a bug and not intended.

Thanks =)

Why would that be a bug?

Isn’t that the behaviour of the enemies themselves - with the affix explicitly mentioning “fleeing” ?

Yeah I'm not sure what HH modifier makes you flee. There is one that makes you teleport around, but I don't think your experiencing that.

Sounds like you just have some janky merc AI

EDIT - Found this on another thread, interesting

I will have to do some testing with my merc and headhunter

Simply put, if the merc gains a certain modifier, he starts to flee instead of attacking, it is not AI nor it seems intended, it also never goes away, while other headhunter buffs expire.
