Maddening Scalars Proc bug??

[Smackboy]

Hey!

Me and a friend was out in emain this morning and came across two alb mercs. We managed to beat them, but i then saw something funny. During the battle, the lvl5 Proc on Maddening Scalars went off, the absorbation/reflection thingy. And one of the guys died because of the damage reflected. The strange thing here was that we only recived ~50rp for him, and the other guy gave the usual 500 ish. He was lvl 50, i checked that up.
So what im woundring is, if anyone else have seen that same thing, or if it could have been something else? There wasnt another player in the area (that i know of), and we hadnt seen a single deathmess since we ported to emain.

I know that it dosent proc that often, and the probability that it procs and kills someone is pretty slim, but would be fun to know if there is some bug regarding the proc.

He had been hit by other stuff which hadn't died or smt.

It shouldn't eat xp

There is a bug with them that was causing problems with encounter credit, so I'm guessing the same applies in rvr too...

Taken from http://www.camelotherald.com/more/1367.shtml

"The level five spell was replaced on the Maddening Scalars with a more conventional damage shield as a temporary measure. The previous shield was capable of dealing large amounts of damage to the mobs, and in those situations the players did not receive encounter credit upon the death of the mob. The current type of damage shield should not cause any issues with encounter completion credit. We anticipate a new spell will be in place for 1.69 that is closer to the original function.”

Ah thanks Iziz, thats probably it, cause i cant imagine that he was hit by any other fellow.

Gonna have to hope its never procs then
