[BUG] Binding Javelin ignoring Defensive Stance

Weesacs

Hi,

Last night while playing in battlegrounds I noticed that the Templar Skill - Binding Javelin - ignores the Sword and Shield skill - Defensive Stance - when it is active.

This happened to me three times last night however I must add that it did work on one occasion however I cant be sure whether this was by a magicka templar using the other morph i.e. Aurora Javelin.

I think the following checks need to be performend to determine under what conditions this bug occurs:

- Distance of spear thrower in relation to the defensive stance user. I noticed that the spear thrower was quite far away when defensive stance failed to reflect the spear. The test could be performed at different distances between the spear thrower and the defensive stance user.
- Defensive stance skill nearing completion. I noticed when I got knocked back by the spear thrower the defensive skill icon was flashing and the buff was almost complete - however the buff was still active and should have reflected the spear.
- Type of spear. As I mentioned above, the three times it failed to reflect the spear the spear thrower was a stamina templar, hence I know it was the Binding Javelin morph however I did notice a spear being reflected last night but couldnt be sure if it was a magicka templar user or a stamina templar user - hence why the conditions need to be tested using both javelin morphs.

I play on the PS4 EU. Unfortunately I didnt get any screenshots however if I do in the future ill add them here.

Cheers

This bug occurred again tonight so its definitely an issue.

I thought it was blockable too until I ran into a guy who speared 2 of us down through our blocks then grabbed our flag in ctf and bailed.

Binding Javelin is not a spell projectile and should not ever be reflectable by Defensive Stance. However the base morph and Aurora Javelin are reflectable.

It is also blockable @Trashkan and there should be no exceptions. You may have just been a little late to block it or dropped block for a moment.

No for sure we went into the fight wigh blocks up and moving forward i was like how the heck did he hit me and as i was saying that i watched him throw through the other guys block too. I messaged the random player and he confirmed block was engaged.

Just curious, are you a Warden and did you have Crystallized Slab up?

Trashkan

No magika dk. I thought it was happening earliear that day but just figured I was delusional but when that instance occurred I was waiting for it with block engaged and he proceeded to knock me down through it anyway. I thought lag maybe but then he did it again. Oh yeah it was the beginning of a ctf match and I was defending our relic so stam was pretty full.

@Solariken that makes sense as binding javelin isnt a spell skill - thanks for clearning that up for me mate
