Minstrels and Shield Proc

[knighthood]

Need an answer to this plz from someone who knows about these things.
Just bought a 99%shield <lvl 50> and enchanted it, then got it procced
Reactionary proc, not the style proc as i have no shield styles.. so i decided to test it, pulled 3 greys and stood there.

Now i blocked well over 200 times and not once did my reactioanry DoT proc go off, im pretty pissed at this having just payed 300g for it <Not the alchemists fault by any means, they were suprised at this too>. Now 200 odd times is a bloody lot for a proc to not go off, so what is going on??

Checked the proc type, same as my pally friends whos goes off quite a bit in duels when he blocks so why the hell does mine not? , do u have to activly have to be able to spec shields for a reactioary to go off, cos if you do thats just plain bollox and yet again another nice little bug to add to the other 1000 ingame

So if anyone can help me out with an answer plz ill be thankful

I think there is some bug that makes so shield procs only can proc on a player opponent, atleast its like that on a few toa shields.

reverse procs on shields are RvR only.

Not a bug, reverse procs were overpowered in PVE as an engaging shield speccer could kill mobs (albeit slowly) with ease with the proc alone.

RvR only, it should proc fine when you block enemy player attacks, not that it will happen often mind, you have low chance to block and even then only 10% chance for the proc to fire on that block.

Of cause you do realise that if the DoT fires you wont be able to mezz them?

Except engage doesn't work on monsters that have been hurt recently... So you'd have a short (10s?) period when the monster would ignore the engage. Longer if you'd use a DoT proc. Dunno if this is the real reason or not *shrug*
