Summary0004258: Rampaging creature exploit - Hearth Guardian auto-heal spam
DescriptionI found an outpost in a level 10 area that I was too weak to defend, so it got wiped out pretty early on. In a subsequent attack, I decided to give it a shot. I discovered that I could stand next to the Hearth Guardian Stone and it would heal me over an over as I wiped out the monsters. I had to move slightly to get the heal, but it was trivial to take out a much higher level group of monsters than I would otherwise have able.

If I were concerned about the inhabitants, it wouldn't be that easy. However, with this one being empty, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. I would suggest either making it so the hearth guardian stones don't heal while the outpost is under attack, or keep uninhabited outposts from being attacked at all.

Or even a 20 second or so cooldown on healing from them might work.

A cool down sounds like a nice idea regardless.

This was fixed a while back; added a cooldown.
