Corpse Candle lifetap removed?

[Gutmonger]

<DIV>Just wondering.... I heard so many people talking about the Corpse candle as a pet while I leveled up I was kind of disapointed when I finally charmed one. Granted the nuke is great but it only healed for 700 hp very very rarely. Have they nerfed the heal?</DIV>

<div></div><div></div>The corpse candle still lifetaps regularly for me - the power is Absorb Vitae, it hits about 2.5k - 3k, heals him for 700, and he does it quite often. (I ran the log of my previous week's playing through ACT just to make sure, and it's all still there - at least once a fight, and multiple times on longer fights.) The lifetap is only of use on solo mobs though, as the candle is a little frail and 700 isn't much. Heroics will swat him in a few hits and nameds like the Harridan will crush a candle in seconds. You can easily mitigate all the damage coming his way with stun/mez, so no big deal.I've got to say: your expectations had to be way high to actually be <i>disappointed </i>by the candle. When I first charmed one, the power of the candle blew my mind in seven different exciting flavours.<p>Message Edited by The Dark Savant on <span class=date_text>12-07-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:13 AM</span>
