**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened**  
Manticore - fully traited and not stunned is being affected by Aspect of Famine which is a status Trait -and should not be

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Don’t know but I noticed it 1/2 way through when I started to see my attack counter go down.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Have not clue…

It’s not a bug , third traits of famine reduce random stat by 3, if famine is stunned then it will stop to do it

It’s always been like this, it’s not a status effect, it’s a special trait, status effect are, burn, freeze, entangle, poison, disease, web, devour mana burn etc…

As example if you use kraken or yao guai and do 4 gems or red matches, he will still lose health
