Were you standing in a 'Bathe in Light' zone? That effect refreshes your shield, but after doing it 20 times explodes. Looks like that could be what hit you. I think Luminous Horrors can use that.

I don't have that talent myself, but I was fighting a bunch of light horrors in a locked dungeon or whatever. Could be I was on their zones and refreshed over the cap but.. When a shield explodes from refreshing does it normally do such high damage? my light resist is 70 and i had either 13 or 43 resist all on top of that(probably had 30 from teleport bonus), plus 34 light affinity.
is it possible the shield exploding uses my own light penetration to bypass my resists?

either way i don't think i have any talents, aside from maybe runic shielding/shatter afflictions shield, that could explode(which weren't used in this situation).
i also had retribution active that may? be able to explode. i don't know really know how that specific mechanic works.

shield of light has no shield power itself afaik, its just a sustain that hits with your shield as light damage when you perform a successful melee attack once per turn and heals you when you take damage.

why shield of light is listed so many times in the log is confusing in itself.
