Spirit Blade Insta-kill bug??

So, there I'am, playing a Mage knight-enchanter, set up my barriers, all nice and buffed and the moment I hit anything, big, small, weak, dragon, mage, demon - whatever-the-**bleep**-it-is, I get blo...

I got the exact same problem. I just encountered it, visiting the hissing wastes, though. I used all the skills i use now for some time.

This must be some kind of bug, since this blowing-me-up thing does also happen shortly after i killed an opponent. There is a bang-sound and i'm seeing a load of numbers over my head. It looks like my own weapon backfires with all the damage I afflicted before..

This is really annoying!

Can you check your items(especially rings and weapons) for any passives with an on-hit proc? Try toggling out any items with such procs and test to see if the issue reoccurs.

I suspect this is a misfiring passive, but it's hard to be certain without more testing. If you're on PC I'd like to get a copy of one of your affected save files too if possible.

Thanks.

Same here. It only happened after I upgraded spirit blade to defending blade. It should send "a shockwave of energy back at the attacker" but it instead it insta kills either me or one of my companions (especially Cole). So it ONLY creates friendly fire. Also, I had no items with specific effect "on hit" when it happened. I got it at lvl 16, during the fade mission.

  I hate to bring back a month-old post, but I am encountering the exact same bug and managed to personally narrow it down to the Veiled Riposte talent. I had been fine until I took that, then all of a sudden, I started blowing up immediately upon popping into the midst of a pack of enemies.
  Took off Veiled Riposte and I'm right as rain and hacking people to pieces again with my magic death-sword-from-hell. Kinda sucks, since 20% reflected damage is kind of nice, but I'll live without it... in more meanings than one.
  EDIT: It seems that was only half the problem. The previous assertion that Defending Blade was trigger the self-destruct is also correct. It seems neither function quite as they should.
