Bug Shieldreflect not working on arrow hits

[EvilThor]

As a pally I use shieldreflect pretty much.
When I was fighting a ranger in a skirmish today I saw that he didn't take dammage at all when I used shieldreflect and he shot me.
I taught this was odd, and tried whit a friend (samurai).
Then I saw that the bow shooter still didn't take damage for shooting me while I use shieldreflect.

Conclution:
Shieldreflect doesn't have any effect on arrow hits, as I believe it should..

I can confirm this, was fighting uin153 and it wasn't working against his arrows

 

[uin153]

ummm how would a sheild reflect an arrow straight back at sombody else...

It doesn't reflect the arrow you downy, it reflects the damage >_<

 

[uin153]

and how would the arrow shooter take damage if the arrow didnt get reflected? magic?

Since the skill require mana.
Yea, it's a magical spell.

The arrow would have bonded with the soul of the shooter - thus creating a magical link between them. When a Paladin then uses ShieldReflect, he draws upon this strength on soul to send the damage back to the attacker, though he would still take the hit, it would not affect him.
Either that, or you're awesome with shields.

Dude, it's an arrow. It would just stick in the shield. It makes sense not to have it affect arrows.

It does reflect poison, though, as I found out with C4ruso today.

Fair point as well, there should be a least SOME realism here. Already it's impossible for rangers to kill paladins (40+ hits with fully charged bow disregarding healing), if people weren't already aware.

And that's with arrows doing 150ish damage.

No, no, no. It's far, far less to classes armored to the teeth like paladins. Damage mitigation.

I meant without the armor.

Even if it is hard for rangers, not fixing a bug is a bad solution to make it easier for them..
Remember that not only rangers use arrows..

stop arguing details people. shield reflect is meant to reflect all damage taken. it reflects fireballs, so why wouldnt it reflect arrows? this is clearly a bug and should be treated as such

Realism? Then why can a ranger in chainmail armor run as fast as a disciple without armor?

Anyway this is a bug as ShieldReflect should reflect all damage. If you want an explaination WHY they can throw arrow damage back at the rangers, one word: Magic.

 

[EvilThor]

Miners and kenn are right..
This game isn't based on realism, it's based on minecraft..
Is it realistic that someone can shoot a ball of fire, or make lightning appear on your head..

I like how this thread forces us to consider the match-up of Paladin vs Ranger (as well as other arrow specs). There aren't many match-ups in herocraft I would call almost impossible to win, but that is one of them. I have beaten a paladin once in a skirmish, it is very difficult.

+1 to fix the bug, realism be damned pallys r magical.

This isn't a ''Rogue should beat casters, healers AND warriors'' thread.
