Brace of Deflection shield (one that drops in Throne of New Tunaria) has a proc on it that absorbs 1k magic damage.  5% chance on incoming hit. The huge problem with this on the PVP server, is that this proc not only procs out of combat (when you're not engaged), but it puts you into combat too! Just running through a zone, I was attacked, and INSTANTLY put in combat by the shield.  It procced on the first incoming hit, and I was instantly at 0% run speed, in combat. Can you please fix this?  It's obviously not working as intended.  It should work like any other proc on a PVP server.  It shouldn't be proccing unless you're in combat.  Or, if it does proc while you're not in combat, it shouldn't PUT you into combat. Please please hotfix! "You have entered into combat by using the ward, Evasion on yourself while fighting Player A."

I found out more information about this bug.  I think this is what actually happens: I fight player A.  Near the end of the fight, bracer of deflection procs the 1k magic ward.  I kill player A.  Since the magic ward is an invisible buff/ward (you cannot see this listed as a buff in your windows), it stays on you permanently.  Then, if say, 2 hours later you are running through Tenebrous Tangle, and you get hit with magic damage, it instantly puts you into combat, eventhough you never engaged. This proc is very bugged.  When it procs, the only way you know it's working is by reading the damage it absorbs in the combat window.  It doesn't show that you have a temporary buff when it procs.  Also, it never fully absorbs 1,000 damage.  It seems as if it's absorbing mitigated damage, so you only see it absorb around 800 most of the time.  If the proc never fully absorbs around 800 magic damage, the invisible ward stays on you PERMANENTLY (even perhaps logging?), and will IMMEDIATELY put you into combat when magic damage hits you...whether you've engaged or not.
