Hi Zenimax,
Absorb Magic from the Shieldweapon tree is buggy.
I tried it with a Sorcerer who was firing Crystal Fragments at me.
When Crystal Fragments(instant) proccs and he fires it at me i heal him instead of me...
With the channeled Fragments it used to work as intended.

I just wonder why it heals him in terms of a procc??
Hope to see a fix with 1.5 or maybe later, ability is not too important but i wanted to use it for my staminabuild :(

    Sorcerers have a passive called Bloodmagic, any time Sorcerers hit someone with Dark Magic abilities, it heals them for 5% of their maximum health. So if you reflected/absorbed a Cristal Shard, the caster will recover some health from its own reflected/absorbed skill.

    That might be right but there is no reflection with Absorb Magic... i am supposed to get health when a projectile hits me... while testing i didnt get any health and he got 500 health from my spell that disappeared from my buffs without healing me.

    IT IS BUGGED!

    Mmmh,

    If he got 500 hp from his spell that's definitly not Blood Magic passive.

    Did you already send a ticket to support?

    Not just that but absorb magic doesnt even give you health sometimes at all lol. The skill is a diamond if it would just work right.

    Everytime i don't get the heal , my opponent gets it. I tried it with a friend of mine in teamspeak but in the patchnotes 1.5 the skill will be changed so maybe the fix will come with it.

    if you arent blocking, then you will lose the buff and take full damage from the attack. If you are blocking, you will get the heal but only half of the full heal because you blocked half the damage from the ability. Its not a very good skill because you need to block to make it work

    Sounds like the ability is completely broken atm.
    Hope i don't get the tooltip wrong.

    Thats the new notes btw?

    Absorb (Defensive Posture morph): This ability now absorbs 100% of damage caused, and also heals for 15% of your maximum health.
