Game Mechanics: Double DT from Bazzt Zzzt

[Fri Aug 30 00:27:21 2013] Bazzt Zzzt shouts 'LORAEN'
[Fri Aug 30 00:27:21 2013] Bazzt Zzzt's casting is interrupted!
[Fri Aug 30 00:27:22 2013] Bazzt Zzzt shouts 'MAGNAR'

The DT on Loraen was through a pet, which might explain why a double DT happened. My only theory is that DTing through a pet messed up the DT count, or it was just a server hiccup. Or since I don't think a mob can DT if they are casting, maybe something went wrong there and it was interrupted but also not interrupted. If you can't reproduce it easily then I would assume its no different than when Talendor called engage after he died.

[Thu Aug 29 22:51:21 2013] Bazzt Zzzt says 'You will not evade me a soul harvester!'
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:22 2013] It will take about 5 more seconds to prepare your camp.
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:23 2013] You say to your guild, 'camp back here'
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:24 2013] Bazzt Zzzt shouts 'LORAEN'
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:24 2013] You have taken 25000 points of damage.
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:24 2013] You abandon your preparations to camp.
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:24 2013] You have been knocked unconscious!
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:24 2013] You have been slain by Bazzt Zzzt!
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:24 2013] Your Boltran`s Agacerie spell has worn off.
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:24 2013] You have lost experience.
[Thu Aug 29 22:51:25 2013] Bazzt Zzzt shouts 'MAGNAR'

Happened earlier too. Ploktor stealing my bug thunder!

Now aint that some shit. I know his attack speed was fixed, is that tied to the DT timer in that zany EQ Emu code of yours?

A server repop or two ago we made an attempt at CT..

He DT'd 4 people (our MA included) instantly.

DT's can definitely get wonky.

I'm assuming you were pulling the bee with a pet.. Was the person who was pulling off the initial DT taker the one that got DT'd?

Same thing has happened to us under similar circumstances. Charm pet was first to aggro and a chanter took the DT through the pet:

[Wed May 08 22:38:43 2013] Bazzt Zzzt shouts 'SANDII'
[Wed May 08 22:38:43 2013] Sandii has been slain by Bazzt Zzzt!
[Wed May 08 22:38:43 2013] Bazzt Zzzt's casting is interrupted!
[Wed May 08 22:38:43 2013] Stamps tells the guild, '-444- CH on Vehk -444- GIppy is next'
[Wed May 08 22:38:44 2013] Bazzt Zzzt shouts 'CADOV'
[Wed May 08 22:38:44 2013] Cadov has been slain by Bazzt Zzzt!

Cant have pet tanking anymore with DT mobs.

It will just chain DT all the owners instantly.

Thats a bug but when they try to fix it, it usually get worse!

TL;DR : If theres no pc in melee range and only pet, DT mobs will chain dt pet owners.
