BLIZZARD PLANNING to HOTFIX WRATH of THE LICH KING CLASSIC Death KNIGHT GHOUL PET BUG ‘SOON”
World of Warcraft – Wrath of the Lich King Classic’s Pre-Patch is now available. If you have already leveled an Unholy Death Knight, you may have noticed the annoying ghoul bug in the game.
Unholy Death Knights can access the Raise Dead spell from WotLK Classic that temporarily summons a pet ghoul by default. The Master of Ghoul’s talent will ensure that your ghoul pet stays with you until it dies. It will also give you an undead friend who follows and eats foes. However, the annoying bug that came with the pre-patch makes the ghoul despawn upon jumping onto your flying mount and taking off.
This is not a game-breaking move, but Death Knights can summon their ghoul pets only if they are near a humanoid body with experience or honor. They can call their ghoul pets near a humanoid corpse that yields experience or honor.
You’ll need to use Raise Dead each time you dismount your flying mounted, as this is something you’ll do a lot while leveling up in Outland. You’ll likely quickly exhaust your Corpse Dust resources, and you will have to wait for the cooldown of 30 seconds.
Although the consumable item may not be the most expensive, it irritates those who want to level Unholy Death Knights during WotLK Classic’s pre-patch.
Funny enough, Zozo, a forum user, points out the bug doesn’t affect the non-talented pet ghoul (which disappears after 60 seconds).
