Torch Bearer fire mode auto-attack

from Demigod Forums

Torch Bearer in fire mode doesn't correctly auto-attack while following an opponent.  He stops moving once he gets in range and starts the attack animation, which causes the opponent to get out of range and cancels the attack.

Since his attack works correctly in ice mode, I'm assuming it's a bug (additionaly no other DG displays this behaivor).  Please fix it as it is extremely annoying.

Wow!!!

I was about to create a thread about this exact problem.

It is SO MUCH annoying and in most of the time can turn the tide of the game if you are able to do that extra "500 dmg" that is not possible because of this annoying bug...

Thanks.

BEast and spit cannot hit a target outside of its range, this is intended, and I belive the torchbearer auto attack is not supposed to work while moving... I hope im wrong thoguht about TB.

Then why does it work for him in ice mode???  It also works for regulus and QoT.

thats not the worst part.   I made a thread about this before.   It actually makes Fire TB  default to the persons movement speed he is following. 

 

   aka if you have +30% movement speed and you target someone who is snared at -50% movement speed   your movement speed automatically becomes -50%!!  you then proceed to hobble slowly after them!!!  never target someone to chase after them when fire TB  because you will never be able to catch up to them because you are moving at thier movement speed!

will516 - that is not the problem. The problem is with any speed, TB speeds up into range to target, but then stops and starts attack animation.  Then target gets out of range and he repeats.  That's why it seems like he's moving at the targets speed.
