I was trying to test this last night on PS4 to see if it was draining your resources just questing but i didnt notice it doing that but i have heard people still say its bugged on PS4? Does it just do it sometimes or what?

    Here's how you can easily test this bug :)
    Step 1: Enter Cyrodiil
    Step 2: Slot Reflective Scales and/or Defensive Posture
    Step 3: Reflect a projectile which an enemy player launches at you.
    Notice how if it costed the enemy player Magicka to cast, you lose a proportionate amount of Magicka? This is also the case for reflected Stamina-based projectiles. The bug is still here and drains your resources 100% of the time against enemy players.

    Ok is it only in Cyrodiil? Cause i am testing in PVE and it doesnt cost me the magicka or stamina of the enemy player so it maybe just a Cyrodiil thing i guess.

    It is most likely only an issue in Cyrodiil (player projectiles). It seems that if the projectile has a Stamina/Magicka cost attached to it and gets reflected, the player reflecting will lose that correspondong resource.

    Chances are PvE mobs don't actually have Stamina/Magicka pools and their costs for every ability they do is free. This would make sense if what you're saying is true.

    That does kinda make sense, i was wondering what i was totally missing on testing it lol. Well guess Harness Magicka tonight instead of Scales. Hope they fix it soon but my guess is No ETA
