Clay Golem glitch Stone/Bloodmoon

So - I've been doing dual hell forge runs (2 comps) and trying out different builds just for fun. Doing my first Conc Barb and he's rolling right along. I got him into some Stone armor and bring out the Clay Golem on occasion for some crowd control (and just cuz I can ) Been trading out weapons as I progress and am using a Bloodmoon Elegant Blade (he's using a shield) with 2 singer stix on switch to buff my warcries. Began to notice that when I switched to the stix gumby went away - just like he was un-summoned?

All I can figure is it has to do with the Bloodmoon's blood golem charges? I never use the blood golem but it still kills gumby on switch - kinda wierd.

It's not a big deal since I'll be switching out the weapon in a few more levels; just never heard of this before.

That happens when I summon the Oak Sage also. I will summon it with the my Natures Peace ring and when I switch weapons (I use a HOTO which also has Oak charges) he dies. Pretty annoying but I suppose I will have to live with it .

Re: Clay Golem glitch Stone/Bloodmoon

I imagine it's because the charges are tied to the weapon, and as soon as that weapon is not active the associated charge is canceled. That's always happened whenever I used anything with charges- if the item isn't active, the charged effect is gone. I assumed that was fairly standard. Of course, it wouldn't happen with anything except weapons and shields, since nothing else switches.

Except the OP isn't using the charges on the switch weapon. Instead they are using the charges on the armor and when switch weapons the minion that came from the armor disappears.

Only thing I can think of is that perhaps the shield is providing the strength to equip the stone.

There's plenty of summon from charges bugs running around in the game.

Thanks Mursilis - you got it!

And I'm old-school my base ST keeps me "in" for anything I need to equip so no ST glitch; I can equip my Stone naked? After all he's a Forge runner and will probably be a level 70-something mule in the future

And BTW - Now that I've switched off the Bloodmoon - no problem - Gumby is fine and healthy through all weapon switches now.

I guess omgwtfbbqpwned has it - there's more than I know about - go figure :thumbup:

Re: Clay Golem glitch Stone/Bloodmoon

I have never used an item with a charge of a summon skill. So to be clear on this; if I equip runeword armor Stone. Cast Clay Golem, and then re-equip my enigma( or other armor) the Clay Golem with die?

Thanks for any help. Just rejoined ladder west this season after many seasons past. I successfully did Uber Tristram with a Wind Druid but it was tough, i was thinking the Clay Golem would help out with the 60% slow.

Re: Clay Golem glitch Stone/Bloodmoon

yes he will die.

another (similar) bug to be aware of is with metalgrid's iron golem charges; normally you make an iron golem and he will stay with you from game to game, but not when he's summoned from charges. when you leave a game after having made an iron golem and rejoin a new game, he'll be gone.
