Hehe. I need to come up with a better system for that sort of thing. I keep forgetting to remove those things way too often...

In addition, it seems that lizard archers now have reflect, OR all of my spells just reflect on their own. I about killed myself! :)Ravi


Ravi,
Any additional information on this? Nobody else who has posted to this thread has mentioned a problem like this.

Where was this - one of Covetous levels? I'd like to take a mage and see if it happens to me.


Sure! Here are as many details as I can remember. I had just logged back in after server restart, and recast my buffs. I was on my semi new necro (so I wasn't sure if perhaps this had something to do with new changes or not.) Anyhow, I rounded the corner and encountered a liz archer. I had MR cast in preperation for any shamans. I targeted the liz archer with a lightening (about the highest thing I could cast, ) and it backfired on me. I thought perhaps I wasn't smart enough or something as I am not very good with the technicals of this game (never have been,) so I tried again. After beating myself down to about 1/3 hp I decided to go back to town untill all the madness could be fixed. That is it really. Nothing special or different than I always have done. I dunno...maybe just some astronomical alignment was not in my favor :)

Side Note: It hasn't happened since..even only an hour or so later when I ventured back out. But I assure you, it was not my imagination...hehe!

No, Ravi, not your imagination. It happened to me in the swamps near Britain a few nights ago. I also was taken by surprise when I cast a spell (I think it was lightning) on an archer and it hit me instead. I forgot all about the incident til ya mentioned it, but I remember thinking it was odd at the time...

This is a long shot at explaining the reflection.

What if the improvements to magic resist have some sort of chance to reflect a spell?

Ah, just a thought...

Nia and I were hunting and she cast a lightning spell on an earth ele that had magic reflect up. Maybe it's one of those hidden changes?
