That ol' ghostmaker bug (not a bug)

[Darkloki]

Gondorian,

I didn't see this addressed in the patch note changes, can you confirm if the bug is fixed in 2.86?

Playing Therebin, using ghostmaker while using twilight tribe, brings back 2 allies. I have had this used on me a few times now it's really annoying.

That's not a bug, check the text of Ghostmaker. Threbin does combat damage twice when he attacks, therefore you get two allies. There is a bug related to GM, which supposedly has been fixed: If attacking someone with armor, GM would still bring back allies as if it had done damage, even when it hadn't. I believe this also worked with Threbin's ability when used against Spelleater Bands (don't recall for sure though).

So yeah aside from the armor thing, which should be fixed, nothing to worry about, it's a completely legitimate use of GM. to counter it, after the patch, armor of any kind will work well (though Threbin can still damage through armor with his ability - but he won't get two allies). Attacking Threbin with allies will also work, though it might cost you the board. Do not attack Threbin with a weapon when he's got Ghostmaker out - especially if he used his ability.

You're right for wrong reasons. He damages another hero in combat twice (once with combat damage and once with his ability).
