Dominate+Slime Feedback

Sooooo, about the dominating slimes via their splits thing possibly being OP?
I ran into the fact that slimes regenerate their splitting capability when healed today.

Here's something for everyone else to have fun with:
Dominate ANY slime.
Then dominate something that can Heal/Group Heal.
Then watch your slime horde murder EVERYTHING in your way providing your healers don't die to terrain or explosives.

I thought dominated slimes split into enemies? Just tested with both the scroll and the spell, on 1.41.2 and that's how it worked.

It was just changed according to the patch notes for 1.41.3.

The most recent patch notes has it changed to having the dominated slimes splitting into allies. It gets REALLY bad when you have one of the priests from the Vault that can Group Heal...

Just to put things in perspective:
Here's a screenshot link to a run I just had:

Indigo slimes and 2 chaos Priests.
2 regular slimes, 2 Crystal Golems and 3 Dark Elf Blade Dancers.
Yeah.......

I thought the spawnslimes of a parentslime have a lesser maximum amount of HP?

[Shamrock]

this seems balanced and nothing will need to be fixed

After thinking about it more, I think the fun solution would be to disable healing for slimes while allowing them to be dominated still. That way it's not infinite. The fun thing with dominating slimes is that they basically act as a consumable for the next one or two fights

Ooo, I like that. That makes a LOT of sense, as they lose more and more mass from splitting and damage.

Finding game breaking stuff is the best part of roguelikes. It's not online so I don't think "balancing" is necessary if it's fun. If anything this game could use a little more game breaking ability I think. But I'm also horrible at the game and have killed my self on the crystal archer 10 times in my last 15 runs.
