I run into what I can only assuming is "Working as intended" or straight out broken/bugged.
I was playing my level 70 crusader, I had fairly decent gear and was happily farming Torment 1 and 2 in both solo and group play. I had 22mil toughness which was a mixture of resistances/armour/life I also had 18,00 healing through regen and life on hit. For some time I mostly played with Blessed Shield and Blessed Hammer builds but after picking up 2 pieces of Invoker gear and the thorns bracers from the cache (I forget its name) I decided to try out a thorns build.
I took a bunch of skills like
Condemned - Reciprocate
Iron Skin - Reflective Skin
Provoke - Charged Up
Laws of Justice - Protect The Innocent
The idea of my build was I would cast Laws of Justice with Condemned and Provoke and Ironskin all at once to takes larges amount of damage which would stacks with the thorns and create a large aoe explosion. This is where things took a turn for the worse. I was playing along solo doing really well on Torment 1, then a friend of mine joined my game. My friend happens to play a Witch Doctor, however his build focuses on using Fetish Sycophants passive along with Firebats "spam" to summon alot of fetishes constantly, he also uses the Gargantuan pet.
We didn't notice anything at the very start but soon enough he had roughly 10-12 fetishes out and his Garg, I then proceeded to cast Laws of Justice - Protect the Innocent ..... and I died INSTANTLY. I'm talking so fast there was nothing anyone could do. I dropped from 100%-0% before I even blinked (sadly I play Hardcore).
The only thing that was present on the screen was a bunch of non elite skeletons, there was no molten, no frozen no poison (Not that any of that mattered as my stats and gear meant they were a non-issue anyway). The only thing that we could merit to me dying in such a fashion was that Laws of Justice - Protect the Innocent ALSO procced 20% of his pets damage aswell. So not only did I take damage from him but also from 15+ pets.
Is this working as intended, should the skill be redirecting pet damage to the caster or is this a bug?
