Ghost Archer vs Fairy Pet

[LostKnight]

Fairy, range: 12 and a Ghost Archer, range: 7

Code: Select all

 ID: 430   Name: Fairy (lvl 190)
DMG: 3250   ARM: 30        DEX: 160
SPD: 8      RNG: 12       FREQ: 500
 HP: 42000   XP: 450000  XP/HP: 10,71

ID: 80     Name: Ghost Archer (lvl 150)
DMG: 600    ARM: 200       DEX: 90
SPD: 8      RNG: 7        FREQ: 500
HP: 60000    XP: 700000  XP/HP: 11,67

So here's my problem/question

How is it possible that a Ghost Archer, range: 7 can walk up and start killing a Fairy, range: 12 and the Fairy does NOT shoot back?

In my mind the Fairy, range: 12, should have started shooting as soon as the Ghost Archer, range: 7, reached the range: 12 limit!

Could someone please explain why this does not happen.
Just about lost a fairy over this, but edge of map was close at hand.

EDIT: range 8 to range 7 for GArcher

Pets have different stats than their original Mob. I think thats why it happend

Identical
Range 7 and range 12
Fairies have a range of +5 over the Archers and do not respond.

I assume the fairies were not moving as they won't shoot while walking. (I know you're very much aware of this, but just for thread development.)

Correct!

Ghost Archer walked up and started shooting, Fairies just stood there, like they were reading a newspaper and unaware!

Nick, are you sure about this? Where is your evidence?

[SellSword]

The lists I have seen show a range of 12, and while GMs have pointed out some errors with the lists the fairy range wasn't one of them. Granted, that doesn't mean much.

I think this is a bug tbh... some pets with range don't attack something within a certain radius unless whipped.
Once whipped they attack it, even if it's from 1 space farther away than where they were originally...

GREAT! Another BUG!

Do I want to "test" this and maybe loose a fairy? I think not.

I had a similar occurrence with ogre halflings...one attacked and the other didn't even though at same range. So I think the whip suggestion is a valid possibility...when I whipped ogre then it attacked. I have to admit though I've never seen my fairies not try to nuetralize everything!!!! Hope not a bug.
