Fortuno 1 Posted August 9 I usually avoid shamans because their healing totems make a single fight last for hours. But that's not why I'm posting this. This one thing has been arousing my curiosity - it's the "lightning shield" expert skill. It deals damage to the enemies who hit shaman with an element of chance while the shield is active. However I've noticed that having damage reflection above 0% in a fight against shaman is pretty much like having own knife stuck in the back. Attribute reflects damage and shield behaves as if enemy actually attacked shaman. Which means shield can strike if player either deals or receives damage and it's kind of weird to me. I'd like to know if this is some sort of "glitch/bug" or is this all natural?. Because if you ask me : Reflect is already a pretty useless attribute, but I never knew it could actually be harmful in it's own way. I'm curious to hear about your thoughts.

Jcbreff 148 Posted August 9 Its not a bug since reflection reflects damage to shaman and shaman's shield reflects damage back to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Higgings 437 Posted August 9 It is a bug imo. A sham shield shall work only with direct damage dealt, and not also with passive damage like the one made by Reflection Stat. If it was true, then a sham shield has the chance to trigger endlessly untill the enemy dies, since every time it deals damage, the sham receives a percentage back from Reflection, and that's considered as Direct Damage too.

Jcbreff 148 Posted August 10 Just imagine if both had 100% damage reflection, damage would never stop reflecting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is not a bug then devs changed it for a purpose that we dont know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aкasha 464 Posted Monday at 05:04 PM weird indeed, I don't recall devs changing any skill behavior without posting on the news. 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
