For those unaware, Diablo 2 Resurrected stopped having any major patches after 2.6, and it looks like they are just doing the automated ladder releases. It's like they pulled the developers / team away from the project all of a sudden.
What this means for me is an interesting problem and question.
Decoy had a bug introduced in 2.6, which as of now is still in the game. The way it works is that the first 15-16 or I don't know how many I summon, everything works normally, it dies after a while, and needs a resummon. All is good, working as intended at slvl 1+6. After that, for at least 99 summons, it dies in a single hit. It's completely useless, but it's still worth summoning, because after said 99-128 summons are chewed up you get something even more crazy: immortal decoys who can last being chewed on by Andariel for their full duration. I don't know how many casts it lasts for, because I don't play very long sessions and it resets every time I S&E, so it's very rare that I get to use it for long.
I don't know what to think of this. Decoy is such a big part of the Amazon's gameplay arsenal for me even as a single-point investment, but I am playing hardcore too, and an unbreakable no-downsides tank feels like it's defeating the point, even if I have to do the equivalent of "human sacrifice to summon the devil" to gain access to that.
