So, I decided to test some things for this spell. Nothing big, just using some hollows to attack me.
One point I wanted to test is if you take damage through a shield that blocks less than 100% physical damage would activate it
Short story, it does
Long story is this.
So I was testing this on the hollows in the parish, the ones between the church and the bonfire with Andre (Thats his name right :p), blocking with the spiked shield plus 10.
After many hits, the hollow did not activate the spell. It just ran out, so I went to the balder knights.
5-6 hits in total for them, using the spiked shield to activate it
The difference? The hollow was deflecting, the knight was not. To further test this I grabbed the Grass crest shield. The knight, deflected more, and Karmic justice took a lot more hits to activate
This needs some testing with players, but if it works like it did with NPCs, then blocking with a weapon, or any shield that doesn't block all physical damage should work, since I almost never see a player deflect ever in PVP against another player.
Another side note, my damage with RTSR almost doubled from around 490, to 1111
Thats with 43 faith, Ring of the suns firstborn on both explosions and using thorolund talisman (Yes, I know, I need to get a better one)
