Seems my prisoner is not getting his turn sometimes. Been watching it a week. No, he wasn't stunned, froze, taunted, or anything of the sort. His buttons just don't come up.

In addition, he isn't healing with spell vamp. My Shaman Eddie puts spell camp on, other two toons heal on hits, prisoner heals not at all, with no negative effects on him. This happens everytime and is not inconsistent.

I use mine all the time and I can't say I've noticed it skipping him. I'll pay closer attention to see if it's happening to me also.

I thought spell vamp only heals on magic attacks, so prisoners true damage attack prob won't heal. I could be wrong, but I thought that was the case. He won't heal with lifesteal either since that one has to be physical damage. Correct me if I'm wrong

The Prisoner's basic attack deals true damage, which doesn't benefit from spell vamp or lifesteal. But his power ability does physical damage and I believe Shaman Eddie applies lifesteal as well as spell vamp, so the Prisoner could heal himself using Chain. As for the turn-skipping, I've never seen that happen to my Prisoner unless he's locked down by some form of crowd control.

As a side note, I've always thought true damage should receive half the benefit from spell vamp and lifesteal.

Ah, ok. Because he received the buff, I assumed he would benefit. You guys who game get this stuff way more than I. Constant learning curve on such things for me. Been a year and I'm still learning new shit. Thank you.

For sure he is being skipped sometimes. Happened in LOL last night too. Not just arena. I've waited a week to report it, just in case I was wrong about

You're probably right, and something I was just unaware of with the magic situation. Thank you

I've noticed this in the arena as well. It is usually when I'm saving him for last attack. My second to last toon will attack, then all if the sudden I'm getting counter attacked. His turn was completely skipped.

Doesn't happen often, but I have noticed it happen.

Yes. You can't even click on him. It happened in LOL with another toon, but I can't remember which. I notice the frequency is with Prisoner though.
