Maycast Buff Minion is now never casting [PVE].

[gleaming salmon]

12 months ago I created a pet that had Maycast Buff Minion as a talent. It would consistently cast Buff Minion at least once per battle, and multiple times in big boss fights.

I took a ~10 month break and now my pet has not once casted Buff Minion. I have tested this in team up and solo fights w/ minions in at least 300 rounds of combat. Something has definitely changed, but there is no information on this in any 2023 or 2024 update notes.

I hope the spell/maycast can be reverted to the state it was in ~1 year ago or to have it confirmed that it was intentional to do this.

@hollow night ? how is urs casting buff minion it doesn't work for jacob or me

i sat thru 700 rounds of golem tower

not single buff minion cast

Wiki: trigger get hit

@verbal thunder do u know if buff minion maycast works

or well i guess look into MC buff minion

@gleaming salmon has buff minion casted since then?

or still no luck

update: buff minion works but only appears to be in higher pip spells doesn't work if you get hit if with fire cat 700 times

instantly worked

as soon as i tried in a higher level world

@gleaming salmon

[hollow night]

Yeah I was farming novus with it and used it in nightmare dungeon etc all worked

[vernal lagoon]

i think it doesn't work on fire cat

or low pip spells

[hollow night]

Maybe the trigger is to get hit with higher pip spells idk

Yeah

[vernal lagoon]

also it might not work "solo"

you may need a friend to actually make it trigger as well @hollow night

so that could of been the issue too

for me at least since i was alone in golem tower

[hollow night]

Ah yeah I wasn’t alone

That makes sense considering it’s buff minion so it wouldn’t self target

[gleaming salmon]

Yeah it seems the trigger now is to get hit. And it casts way less often. It used to trigger on a lot more things, like teammates blading, teammates healing, teammates attacking

And just a lot more often -- at least not as infrequently as now

I have the same problem with my mass feint maycast, it stopped casting at all after the last patch
