Guild Wars 2

Something interesting happened when I moa’ed a Mesmer and some of his clones today. Look at combat log.

unblockable peck? seems legit

Yep, this isn’t a bug per se. You’ll see this happen with other things too. Try moa-ing a target golem, it’ll dumpster you. Ranger pets gain increased effectiveness when moad as well.

Basically, the moa skills have fairly high damage coefficients. Mobs/pets/etc often have high raw stats, but low damage coefficients to balance the damage. When you moa them, they keep the stats but gain new damage coefficients. In the case of a target golem (or the pDefender) it suddenly gains the capability to attack you dangerously, and does.

lol uhhhh, weird. especially considering the illusionary defender only does like 50-100 dmg.

Oh yes – never moa mesmers/ranger pets. They become beasts!
