My Character Killed Herself

I posted about this back in April but got no response from Zos and didn't have the means to upload and share the video. While walking around in Malabal Tor, I came across two trash adds. hit them once and my character locks up, hovers in the air, takes out a knife and then kills herself. Now you can watch it for yourself and let me know what you think. Was this a Game Master? Notice, the Necromancy Synergy Kill Self in the recap does not say who it came from while everything else shows the add who fired the attack. Never seen anything like this. Was just looking for an enchanting survey.

Edit for context: I was in a party with my friend. I told him what happened and he said the move that killed me sounded like something a GM would use. That's why I was talking to the ghost lol. Would really like to figure out what happened here. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    My guess is that the wormcult npcs have some scripted skill that is set to target “necromancers” in the area. But does not have a criteria set where it only looks for npc necromancers. I am led to this conclusion because the npc on the left casted the same skill as your character did at the same time.

    I considered it being some bizarre bug like that but I'm a nightblade. My buddy swears its a Game Master which is why I'm posting it here trying to see why I got auto killed.

    Definitely an interesting bug. As someone mentioned, one of the NPCs does the same thing as your char at the same time. Judging by the name of the skill, it seems the NPCs have some kind of synergy interaction going on, and for some reason it hits you instead. I don't think I've ever noticed an NPC sacrificing themselves like that though... Is it related to the area? May help to know where this is. Seems related to the story in the area somehow.

    Either way, don't let your friend's crazy conspiracy theory get to your head. :D

    I wonder if the reason it doesn't say who did it is because you did it to yourself-- not used the synergy on yourself, but died by your own hand because of the synergy?

    Isn't there a Necro skill that trades health for so.e other attribute? I used to kill myself all the time when I used that on my Nightblade, Dark Deal I think it is called for NB's
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Dark Deal is a sorc skill I believe. Nightblades have malevolent offering which I don't use or have slotted here. Equalibrium takes health as well but it's impossible to actually kill yourself with it. I think Necros have a skill that costs health but I'm not a necro.

    Feeling its a bug rather than a gm. Basically the boc targeted you as a necromancer and a synergy between the npc occurred.

    But lol, that was just funny, I mean, self sacrifice just got a whole lot of weird to it.

    I know of this skill: "Kill self". It's a skill that all PvErs use when they enter PvP unprepared. Quite common.

    I don't understand saying it's a bug - it's named, it's fully animated. It's meant to happen somewhere in the game. It may be buggy that it's triggering right there, but has anyone seen it elsewhere?

    I want this skill when pug running dungeons with fake roles, so I can just kill my self and get it over and done with unless there’s a necromancer in the group that just uses their reanimate ultimate.

    Be funny if three people self kill them selves and a necromancer resurrected them with three blastbones, would it be classed as burst damage for PvP and get nerfed next patch or recover their stamina and magicka does this solve the sustain issues people have
