Gloomy spies near Kulech Nest

Since the lvl cap was bumped to 77 I've noticed an occasional problem with the Gloomy Spies located at 63.4, 57.5 in Chrysalia. Periodically if you attack one of them right as they're saying "Dammed intruders...retreat for now!" your attack is reflected back to you causing you to die and/or the game will crit crash.

Has anyone else seen this? I've attached a partial screen shot where you can see the dmg out and the dmg back in causing me to die.

Most of the time when this happens the game will just crit crash on me. I've been able to replicate this on multiple toons as well. I have also been able to replicate this within 5 minutes of logging into the game w/o porting to any other zones.

Most of the time these deaths do cause XP/TP debt which is seriously annoying when I'm just trying to farm arrows & eggs.

Is this just another case of w/m killing themselves or does this happen on all classes?

Played S/WD, S/R, R/Wd, R/S, WD/S, and WS/R there and farmed them for the last few months never died or had any reflected damage. Killed them during before and after the message no problem.

It is most likely skill problem. When skill is triggered, the check is made that your target is enemy, so skill is allowed to proceed. Then the skill is started, the target disappears, and you become your own target. Then skill completes and causes damage to your target, which is now yourself.

It seems class specific, and skill specific bug, not the mob-specific bug. Avoiding that skill might be advisable on the mobs likely to sneak away mid-skill.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

What Pink hat said. I've killed tons f those gloomy spies and never killed myself. Its a problem for both W/M and R/M, and is not limited to just gloomy spies. I thought they fixed the issue in patch 5.0.9 though, or was I dreaming?

supposedly...and yes its the new elite. the white hit is followed by a double tap. if the target dies from the first theres still the second hit coming no matter way. easiest way to avoid it is when questing etc.... use 1 of the other white attack modifying elites so its only 1 magic hit following a white attack

screwing around i couldnt suicide on trash in tosh or regular mobs outside instances. guess its "fixed" but can sometimes unfix itself and kick your teeth in

I haven't tried it recently as W/M since I've been avoiding the gloomy's for a while. But I will say I've enjoyed playing a W/M and finding ways of "breaking" the game with it. Mr. Pink Hat can tell you stories of ways I've managed to "break" HoS at color boss as a W/M.

Yes just w/m fail reflect damage. But haven't ran into that for a while so think its been fixed.

My party and I were so confused the first time xD Can't tank that one anymore.
