When backlashing, the spell is lost entirely btw, it should cast even if you backlash - unless this is another thing that's changed between March 2009 and today, in which case blech.

i thought when it backlashes it means the bw / sorc **** up and the spell exploded in there face or not?
i just checked its 20 % not 25 i lowert it a bit already so if you got 1k heal it will hit ja for 200 damage

[sKrissy]

Thanks so much guys!! For everything!! But i've got 1 question.. What about the White Lion?? Any changes made on the pet system?? It's my fav class of them all and i just love to play whit it

[Azarael]

I'll wait for someone to confirm, but I played a BW at launch and you definitely didn't lose your spell then when you triggered an Explosion.

Correct. At least if I remember correctly. You suffered damage, but the spell was completed and hurled at the enemy in a phenomenal pyroclast of fire and suffering.

Backlash didn't make spells fail yes. Only had a % to do a self hit as well on ability use

[nalgol]

oh well its an easy fix afterall

[Sulorie]

But the % on backlash is lower with less than 100 DM or is it constant?

Btw, crit chance was raised by 35% and crit bonus dmg by 100% with 100 DM.
The selfdamage is based on your rank and the DM value, without any mitigation.
