Some of it was something I accidentally pushed out, was using visual leak detector to find some of these leaks and eliminate them. That accounted for maybe 2-4 commits which you can ignore.

Update on chain casting bug..

I happened to log my 66 necro, who did not have a pet out at the time. I noticed the merc did NOT chain cast buffs... strange i thought because every other character had so far. Then i summoned a pet with no buffs... J2 healer merc level 66 starts chain casting virtue on HIMSELF not the pet. Been doing it for 10 minutes now.

Once is get rid of the pet the merc healer stops trying to buff himself.

Even more interesting is i suspended the healer merc, and summoned pet to do some tests.. after i was done with the pet i dismissed the PET, and tried to unsuspend the merc, couldnt do it, nothing happened. After i zoned the merc was out and responsive, but when i picked dismiss, it dismissed him but said " an error created your mercenary" or something very close.

So it would seem it has something to do with pets. I never noticed before because my server is very pet centric(everyone gets one)

Well i made a new char, put him at level 66, hired a j2 healer merc, who castst hand of virt, aura of temp, then chain casts bulwark of vie. There was never a pet cast or present during this process.. im lost.

Figured out way to create another merc for same char.

Created level 66 j2 healer merc, suspended him while hes trying to chain cast, then try and unsuspend...., nothing happens, i pick dismiss it says it was dismissed even thou it wasnt unsuspended. You get "an error created your mercenary" when you dismiss it. I then bought a new j2 tank merc in same zone, which it gave me... boom, now it shows i have both mercs in database.
