It turned out that in monster vs monster fights:<br />1. paralytic skin does not work <br />2. breath attacks aren't used in melee range <br />This makes both paralytic skin and breath attacks bad skills for a potential pet. Could you please let us know if these features are intentional or considered bugs?

I can only imagine some of the bizarre requests that must be coming through the reward platform...<br /><br />I would love to get a sneak preview of what is going to be included, but at the same time I would like to be surprised. Maybe you could just share a few of the really awesome / strange / cruel ones?<br /><br />Speaking of requests, here's another one:<br /><br />It would be great if you could add "Can cast firebolt", or "Can breathe fire" to the boss ability list. If not, that's okay too.
