Mind Control - Reflective Shield

[Yamakid]

First of all this might not be an exploit but i didn't know were else to put it.

When u have the Reflective shield talent in the Discipline tree it works.
Reflective shield Dmges the target for 50% of the dmg he did to u while u were shielded.

lets say ur in arena, u shield urself and mind control one. then when u do Shadow word: Death against the other target in arena u will lose the MC but not only did u do lets say 1k with SWD, but because of the MCing u also deal 500 Dmg extra because of your reflective shield.

I don't understand why it does it, so i maybe thought this was an exploit..

P.S The dmg looks fake, but thats the Font i use, u can put in ur own dmg fonts with an addon :P

I had to think a bit before i understood.
Annyway not an explout but a great trick if you are a priest

[joho]

rofl thats really cool, I'll try it out if I ever go disc. ^_^

Edit: Could you PM me with that addon & font? thx.

[cphantom]

Not exploiting, but it is very nice for a priest :] cool little trick there.

[ahuizote]

never thought of that, going to try.

[spike15000]

cool trick... will definitely try this

[NRK]

the exploit is that the shield reflect the damage you do to your self.
So it isn't a trick but it is a real exploit!

I don't really understand it but other people seem to be happy about the exploit so I can only say 1 thing :
You found an Exploit!
Good work ^^

Basicly as close as a real exploit ive seen in a while, NOT working as intended seeing how SW's Tooltip doesnt say 50% more damage if target is mind controled !

Only now we just need a OMG repost, but +rep for now...

Ok, so let's see here. You mind control someone, SW: D the other guy, other guy looses 1k, u lose 1k and opponent lose 500 more because you got hurt. Where is the exploit in this and why is mind control even necessary?

Let me clear up some things, Shadow word death do damage to a target and attacks you for the same as long as the enemy survived the attack. The damage you receive is not mitigated by enemy absorbing damage.
Reflective shield at full reflects 50% of the damage your shield gains, e.g if your shield can absorb 1k dmg like in this post, it will reflect 500 damage.

So let me say again, where is the exploit in this if you get the damage and where is the need for the mind control!?

@zplatter - since when u can reflect dmg done by urself to someone else ? MC is probably needed (i play a priest actually)

[Pacol]

oh, nice thinking here.

[Moonstin]

Neat find Yama, I'll have to try this.

'Cause you have no clue how Shadow word death works? You use Shadow word death, it hits for 1k. The target does'nt die, thus you take 1k damage too. 'Cause you have shield on it will eat the damage, and then reflect it 'cause of talents, thus he gets another 500 damage.
