So, for a long while I've been avoiding the cyclops minion for many reasons, one of the big ones being it's level of activity. It would frequently pass twice and then cast donate pips to the target, rarely but sometimes he would do it to himself but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
He doesn't pass as much as before, thanks a lot! He is much more active now and his training has been paying off. The new animation is a little funny looking. He kind of looks like he is trying to hold onto the hammer as if it was being pulled away by a magnet when he casts a spell, but that's ok.
