Was it a bug or a feature? Rigwald fight - hybrid wolf man

Hey guys,

I was lucky enough to have a lot of legacy Dark Forest Maps left over, so I was able to practice the fight against Rigwald.

However...

There was this one time where he seemed to have bugged into a weird version of invinci-wolf mode. He had both the wolf graphic and the man graphic suprimposed over the wolf graphic, he didn't say any of his one-liners about transforming, but he was able to move fast and inflict Corrupted Blood on me (the man graphic was kind of like a ghost over the wolf). This didn't happen a single time on T8 Dark Forest, but it happened exactly once on T15 Dark Forest. I thought maybe it was a special form of his invinci-wolf mode that only comes when he's on Low Life or something, but he didn't use it again for the rest of the fight, instead only doing his usual invinci-wolf transform.

Was this a weird bug, or is Rigwald occasionally supposed to use a man-wolf hybrid transform that is silent butt deadly?

Just a bug. The 'transformation' is just done by hiding his normal model and making the wolf model visible. Sounds like something glitched out in hiding his normal form, but functionally he was just behaving like usual wolf form?
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!

Yeah, probably. If only I were a streamer so I could have caught it on video for bug reporting :>

somehow I doubt /bug would have helped, and the Map is closed anyway. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
