Blizzard incase you wanted to know. Title is updated. It was meant to say. Skullflame shields lifedrain not proccing when the shield is on your back (and then your opponent hits you in the back). So the shield not held to the side after being critted. Flamestrike works when the shield is on the back and is struck in combat. So why wouldnt lifedrain? Both are struck in combat

[Theloras-herod]

cause monkey coding at its finest

[Exodiamaster-yojamba]

Unbelievable Blizzard. This is a bug. I mean many no changes like premade changes were made. Why not this? This is just wrong Blizzard

This is thesame case as shadow oil and frost oil. One is with a cd the other isnt. Skullflame shield, one doesnt proc on back hits with shield on your back while the flamestrike does…

I think both should work like each other
Both no cds
Both struck in 100% combat

I mean the tooltip says 15% proc and 10% proc on the oils
Tooltip on shield says struck in combat blizzard

Where is proof against the tooltip?

These should classified as bugs no different to the premade bugs that were fixed.
I mean to say the shield issue isnt a crazy issue would be ridiculous.

AV map layout why is this not a priority. This was addressed and fix back in the day

All they did was move the horde starting area back. Fixed the problem. The way the layout is now Alliance get choked. Makes no since that the horde can get to Balinda at the same time we do. Think if this was reversed and we could get to Galv at the same time they did. Now if the horde starting point got moved back we all could meet in the middle between Balinda and Galv. Look at the layout of Alliance gy’s and the road to Dun. They’re all choke points. All the horde have to do is split like th…

Fail hotfix alliance premade are back to av

is about 2 hour the premade are back to av . after 3 day alliance find the way to exploit your last patch is not a full premade but about 20 to 30 , also the horde queue time just drop from 1,10 hour to 50 min let see this tomorow maybe that will be 30 to 40 min mean all premade player are back to av i hope player exploiting and abusing the queue system and the new patch will be ban thank you

I wish you luck paladin friend. But I have bugs I reported 6 months ago that haven’t been fixed

[Exodiamaster-yojamba]

Hello Blizzard. It just seems wrong when a rofue stuns me and the proc doesnt work unless i block. Its an in combat proc not a block proc

[Zeliek-moon-guard (Zeliek)]

Does anyone have evidence that it is supposed to proc from behind? If the spell that is supposed to be proccing is directional, it could explain why it isnt proccing. Just like as a warlock you can’t life drain targets behind you.

[Exodiamaster-yojamba]

No its proccing from behind.

Its just not proccing when I have block off.

[Zeliek-moon-guard (Zeliek)]

So it’s only not working when you have your shield “sheathed?”

[Theloras-herod]

yea it’s pretty pathetic - monkey coding at its finest lol

[Zeliek-moon-guard (Zeliek)]

At least it’s something I personally can live with. I generally have my weapon out in combat anyways. /sigh my dream of using runeblade when it is actually relevant shall never come to pass.

SKULLFLAME SHIELD LIFEDRAIN NOT PROCCING FROM ENEMY BACK HITS (directly behind the back) BUT PHASE 5 AQ PTR HAS FIXED THE PROCCING SHEATH PROBLEM. THANK YOU BLIZZARD FOR FIXING THE SHEATH PROBLEM I LOVE YOU. CAN YOU JUST FIX THE BACK HITS NOW.
Flamestrike however works with back hits

This bug lets rogues avoid the lifedrain when using back hits

[Exodiamaster-yojamba]

Sheath problem fixed.

Even when im hit on he sides its good.
But i noticed direct back hits never work.

Only flamestrike works. I got hit 250 times and nothing. Flamestrike procced 3 times

This is massively abusive if we have to duel a rogue.

They are struck in combat like mark of the chosen. I dont understand. Skullflame shield should proc no matter the direction of being hit in.

[Exodiamaster-black-dragonflight]

Back problem just needa fix

[Somechange-aegwynn]

The problem is that the proc is based on the actual Drain life, so it will fail if the target is not in front of you.
I have trouble believing that it actually did proc by getting hit in the back in Vanilla but this guy firmly believes it (or takes the items descriptions absolutely literally, probably the 2nd seeing previous posts)

Think about how rogues can exploit this.

[Whiting-stormrage]

They’re spamming other threads and posts on a different account to get people to come like that comment?

Also, all the likes and the blood elf reply after is the same person. There’s something unhealthy with the person.

[Exodiamaster-yojamba]

I already noticed. Somechange is ludicrous for thinking this shouldnt be fixed. Rogues can abuse this.

[Somechange-aegwynn]

Guess I’ll take the bait ^^
If you want to troll, the bug support forum isn’t the place.

No they didn’t fix it because you basically harassed them as you said over there

@Exodiamaster-yojamba

They fixed the sheath lifedrain problem champ. I mentioned it so much its been fixed. But the back hitting problem is still not fixed

An issue isn’t prioritized because one guy decides to do 20posts about it and pushes it forward with his other characters (everyone can see Exodiamaster n°2, Brendark and others I didn’t bother mentionning are the same person as you), it is relayed to them after the first one, then they assign ressources to it when they can
So you might aswell stop wasting your time posting under every blues begging for answers, and necroing every 2nd post about the issues you reported cause it is against the forum rules, and is also useless.
And as for me posting/liking on other characters, this is the only one I have on US for the forums (not everyone’s got that much time to waste) but sure whatever fits your narrative.
