Magi's Shielding AA Ward

[Kaspar]

I've made a post about this on the PvP forums and haven't really gotten anything constructive from it, so I'm going to try other wizzies and see if anyone has something useful to add. As some might have noticed, possibly, is that Magi's Shielding has been pulling people into combat, especially PvP, which for those who play on a PvP server realise this is almost a death sentence if you are fighting a scout. However, I have noticed lately that I've even been dragged into PvE combat by simply riding past aggro mobs who have in turn hit me, dropped me into combat, proceeded to beat the ever living [Removed for Content] out of me and made moving around at any speed faster than invis difficult and for mobs that see invis, down right lethal at times. So what I want to know, is has anyone noticed this happening to you too? Have you been inexplicably pulled into combat after merely being struck by an NPC while moving around Norrath? If so, could you please post here saying that you have and should you for some reason have a screen shot of the combat log saying Magi's Shielding pulled you into combat, that would be great if you could link to that. Also as a side note, its possible that the Wis line ward could be having the same effect and if so, evidence of this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Also, for trolls who just want to come here and say it never happens and all that crap, ESND <3

I just posted this in the PVP Forum I was farming with my 70 wiz recently and a scout jumped me, I started to cast evac immediately , not really expecting to get it through as most of the time it gets interrupted anyway, but then I saw the casting bar approaching the end and my lifebar going into the red. My heart jumped and I thought that I got away on my last hundreds of hp, BUT no evac kicked in, instead i died a second later and that brig gave me a big laugh. I didn't really understand what happened and i checked through the log: <b>Your mail of frost has put you into combat.</b> ...and stopped and greyed out the evac cast. DOH, how ridiculous is this? A passive auto ward which supposedly is there to protect me, is my ultimate death sentence.
