Wind devils un-summoned on weapon swap

Grim Dawn Bug Reporting

disclaimer:

  • I’m not sure if it’s a bug or feature
  • I took a quick look and didn’t see it reported
    but if any of the above applies, my apologies and disregard my post :see_no_evil:

So as soon as I do a weapon swap, any of the (now perma-)summoned wind devils disappear. :magic_wand:
Is that an expected behavior?

If your first weapon gives + to Wind Devils or + to Shaman or all skils then yes, it will cause them to be unsummoned when you switch. It’s not a bug, but designed to be that way.

ok interesting, indeed my weapon does (its the trozan starkeeper).
I was just surprised as I have the same weapon in both slots :stuck_out_tongue: .
Thanks for the fast answer!

It’s still removing a skill point before it puts it back I guess. Why swap though if they’re the same weapon?

no good reasons, I swapped accidentally :stuck_out_tongue:

The reason it works like this is to prevent an old exploit from the TQ days. In TQ you can summon your pets and then swap gear around and they still stay summoned until they die. Crate decided they didn’t want people continuing to exploit that trick in GD which some players were doing before it got changed. So now if you remove a point from a pet it will unsummon it whether you do it by removing the point at the Spirit Guide or by swapping gear out.
