Dryad Spell Trouble

It's something I've noticed for a while.

Sometimes, when Dryad is used by wizards or henchmen, the Dryad health will not count until the next round comes up.

This can be problematic, especially if my health is way down, and by the time the Dryad health actually counts when the next round starts, I could have been defeated by bosses.

Sometimes it works fine and I get the immediate health, but I'd say it was a 50-50 chance that the health won't count until the beginning of the next round.

Thought I'd mention it, so someone could look into it.

THANKS!

:)

I have notice the same thing. Very rare that it works at the time it is cast. It would be nice to see this fixed.

And have actually had healing spells including rebirth fizzle lately. And no, there was not weakness or dis-spell on my life wizard when this happened.

Rebirth is not a 100% accurate healing spell like the others (neither is Dryad), so it will fizzle without a weakness or dispell.

Dryad has worked fine with my Life wizard casting, but I have not tested with Life henchmen.

Kingurz, the only time I even use a henchman is if I need help in a (SOLO)spell quest. And that also depends on the school of my opponent. Same school I wait at least 1 or 2 rounds depending on the opponents health. Any other school I may or may not use a henchman also depending on health. Cheating Bosses, NEVER.

But as the OP stated Dryad is not healing at the time cast like it used to, it is now a delayed healing until the next round.

And, yes, I am aware that Rebirth is not 100% accurate, but my life wizard is experiencing more and more fizzles on all heals. Not just a couple.

Confusion on my part, since you didn't mention that it was fizzle more often, just that it was fizzling.

This might be a graphic issue, setting configuration, or similiar problem for certain computers. Like I stated, I have personally had no issues with Dryad healing (and I suspect many others do not have it either). I just casted Dryad three times in a row in the same duel just to make sure and each time it healed the same round.

Not saying you and the original poster aren't having a problem, but just supplying data that this is not affecting everyone playing Wizard101. If you haven't already, I would send in support ticket to help troubleshoot why this is only affecting a certain population of players.

I haven't had any issues either. I'm guessing it's a graphic issue as well. I've tried several times in unicorn way on my life using dryad and each time it worked out fine.

Mistake on my part Kingurz since I did not clarify that is was happening more often.
