(BUG) Power Word: Shield does not prevent "dazed"

by Asmodeus » Thu Mar 12, 2015 3:31 pm

Power Word: Shield should prevent the priest from being dazed while running from mobs. Proof here; http://web.archive.org/web/200607110441 ... rd:_Shield

"it is useful to cast PW:S on yourself or a friend to help them avoid the Dazed effect." - This page was last modified 19:07, 31 May 2006.

"Power Word: Shield absorbs damage only. Most other effects attached to a damaging attack, such as a debuff that the attack applies or a spell interrupt will ignore the shield even if the attack deals no damage. Exceptions are Daze effects from being attacked from behind and spell pushback, which are both prevented."

is this indeed a bug? I also noticed dazed/poison effects penetrating my PWS.

Poison effects do indeed penetrate PW:S, but that is blizz-like. If the poison causes damage however, the damage should be absorbed. This is working correctly right now on Nostalrius. The dazed effect however should be prevented entirely

Can confirm that PW:S does not prevent daze on this server and it is supposed to. Played a priest on live back in vanilla for a long time.

Mana Shield and Ice Barrier for mages are similarly bugged.
