Is there any way to get around this bug?
The trigger is not conclusively blamed on just the Elementalists as a class,
but the combination of Firestorm and Dogs (Wolves/Hyenas) seems to be asking for trouble.
We know a patch is inbound ('Soon' TM) but in the meantime:
- Prioritise the Dogs in combat.
- Avoid AoE spells to deal with dogs.
- If the glitch does trigger, no need to jump around like headless chickens for 5 mins,
in that event it is the job of the host to drop out so the rest can continue.
These are not perfect solutions but may reduce glitch occurrence to tolerable levels.
Yes you could uninstall the DLC - I'm not going to mess about with that as a patch is coming...
