PW:S Causing me to Steal spellcasts (Merged)

[Chuchuu]

gg, i'm re rolling disc until hotfix

[Barunk]

I got soul shards from it, which come from drain soul...so yes

unless you stole shadowburn :P

[manao]

So, we are doing ToC 10 atm, and we just found out that the fix to the Power Word: Shield glyph which now takes the priest's crit chance in consideration instead of the target's, actually "steals" people's spells and aggro.

Explaining that:

We noticed during Beasts that the other disc priest (i was disc too but didn't have the glyph on) was getting random aggro like he was taunting, and we found out this

This is the recount of his hostile attacks after a boss ( I think it was jaraxxus):

[15:21:56] [G] [80rewon:1]: Recount - Marmo's Hostile Attacks
[15:21:56] [G] [80rewon:1]: 1. Vampiric Touch (DoT) 7 21359 (34%)

[15:21:56] [G] [80rewon:1]: 6. Concussion Blow 1 2229 (4%)
[15:21:56] [G] [80rewon:1]: 7. Unholy Blight (DoT) 8 2159 (3%)
[15:21:56] [G] [80rewon:1]: 8. Shield Slam 1 2137 (3%)
[15:21:56] [G] [80rewon:1]: 9. Wandering Plague 1 968 (2%)
[15:21:56] [G] [80rewon:1]: 10. Holy Vengeance (DoT) 5 683 (1%)

We are not completely sure of how this works, but it seems that if you shield someone while he is casting something, you "steal" that spell which is counted as if it was casted by you

So, if you do while someone is Taunting, you get the taunt on yourself, and it seems that you get the threat from damage spells as well.

Not sure if this is the right forum, but it's funny

[Revitalize]

This has not happened to me at all. Weird.

Sounds like a personal issue.

[manao]

Nope, maybe it doesen't apply to every priest but there are a lot with this trouble right now

Edit: Oh damn, I didn't notice there is already a bigger thread open about it. Trash this

[manao]

double

[Twenty]

I thought something was a little off last night as well... was PuGing Onyxia10 on my Disc Priest and part of my healing done was Frenzied Regeneration (there were more inconsistencies, but that's the one I specifically remember). I just figured it was a Recount bug, but I do have the Glyph as well. I'm actually in school atm, so I don't necessarily want to go full-on forum hunting, but do we know if there's been a post on the official forums yet?

[TwistedPower]

It does steal channled spells that have threat. Buffs have no threat so it doesnt effect them. It does not steal proffesions :-( cuase they have no threat.

[Pheonixis]

I was wondering why I had done shockwave, immolate and flame shock in ToC ^^

Seriously though, what is happening?

[Nangz]

lol i had a buddy stealing my lifetap lol

pissed me off but hey he healed me back up for mana gained!!!!!


i also pranked him later with a low health hellfire suicide

[inyu]

My fault, it clearly hasn't been fixed. Our disci priest started to steal buffs in Koralon some minuts ago (most of them from a destro lock). And as you stated, it only steals (or mostly) if the shield is used when the 'victim' ;D is casting.

[Toppinyouoff]

For those implying this only works if you cast the shield while someone is casting or channeling a spell. Taunts and Conc Blows etc do not have cast times, they are instant.

[Baabinator]

Someone should seriously exploit this before it's fixed D
