Is Howl bugged?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

My little berserker barb has been wondering around in hell the last days
and i started using Howl a lot since being jailed by monsters isn't always
fun when you have 0 defense.
My Howl os currently at level 10 which should get monsters to run for 12
seconds and 46 yards away.
But many times when a monsters leaves my screen it turns around and come
back into my screen and when it gets close to me the Howl animation
disappear and it start attacking me, long before the 12 seconds is gone.
Is it a undocumented feature, like the time is capped to 1/4 in hell or
something like that?
And i didn't think they would turn around either buth just continue
running away.

Well it's gives some answers, so i'll just put every point i get from now
in howl (this was planned anyway), even that it's now that many as he
already reached the level 81 mark with all quests done.

But funny enough he recommends using a shield too, mostly i hear don't use
shield on a berserker barb.
I myself is using shield too with 75% block, which helps my alot when i
find myself jailed, and with a lot of FHR on charms and gear combined with
max dr he is doing ok.
