[b31] Acid Splash while frozen

[Avianpilot]

Been playing a few Reavers lately (getting pretty far into the Far East with my current one). I've noticed that when I am frozen and attack the surrounding ice block that somehow Acid Blood will trigger, resulting in me Acid Splashing myself. Luckily I have an infusion and also Providence to get rid of the frozen condition, but when they're on cooldown I have to take my chances trying to break the ice block.

It doesn't seem to happen every time either; sometimes it's the second or third attack on the block that will trigger the effect.

I think it's when the attack destroys the ice block - any extra proc (including the likes of weapon of slime) then hits yourself instead of the ice block.

Good call. I had just finished up playing my Reaver and noticed that it did seem to be the last hit that did it. I was going to test it out a little more and post my findings, but it looks like you beat me to it!

Definitely the case for rogue poisons.

Is there a reason for this?
I mean, is it a feature or just a bug?

Most certainly a bug I imagine.

Perhaps when frozen any attacks against the ice block should be stripped of procs. It doesn't make much sense anyway - you're physically struggling against a block of ice encasing you, not hacking away at it with your weapon.
