scenerio: ret pally spec'd eye for and eye vs shield wielding warrior - pally judges SoC and it crits on the warrior who uses spell reflect. the JoC then hits the pally as a crit. the spell crit triggers eye for an eye. what happens here? some outcomes to consider:

1. the spell reflect comes from the warrior, e4e hits warrior
2. the spell reflect originated from the pally, e4e hits pally
3. wow mechanics dont allow such compounding circumstances
4. stealthed rogue kills pally before reflected JoC lands, becomes moot

just wondering about this example or others similar to this

Reflected damage can't be reflected _again_, so the point is kind of moot.

It's not really as apparent now, but if you had one of the old Engineering trinkets that could reflect spells of one school... say you're a Mage. You hit your trinket and throw a Fireball at the Warrior, who hits Spell Reflect and tosses the Fireball back at you. "But my trinket will reflect the Fireball so it'll hit the Warrior anyway!"

Except it ignores the reflector and just nails you with your own Fireball anyway. *shrug*

the difference is eye for eye throws a % Holy dmg regardless of whats incoming. so its not actually reflected, but rather it is triggered.

I vaguely remember hearing about two people bouncing back spells with Engineering trinkets a long time ago. It may have been a bug, it may have been someone making **** up or I may just be hopped up on cough medicine, but I remember reading it.

Dont start with the sword, I have a whole list of problems with that sword. Such a long quest chain for such a mediocre peice of.... And the sword has such a huge history behind it, they could at LEAST make it blue and a higher level.

If anybody needs me I'll be in the angry dome.

I don't care that it's green and ******. I just want it to look like the damned Master Sword.

Lemme know when you're out of the angry dome. I may need a bit of time in there myself.
