[Bug? 1.04] Mirror Demons

from Elemental Forums

Mirror demons reflect damage, a really cool ability which I had never experienced until today.  However I found a possible bug when fighting an enemy with the Maul ability. 

Scenario is this:  Mirror Demon v Bear Cub, the Cub is very wounded and about to die.

1.  Bear Cub attacks the demon, hits and inflicts X damage.

2.  Mirror Demon reflects X damage back, which is enough to kill the bear.

3.  The bear doesn't die!  Instead it makes another attack due to the Maul trigger. 

In the example I personally observed the second attack missed due to a dodge, the maul chain ended, and the bear died.  However it looks like the bear could have continued mauling the demon?  I have seen effects go off in the middle of a maul, Counterattack springs to mind (Bear / Counter / Bear continues), and the Counterattack can in fact kill the bear and stop the maul chain.  However it looks like Reflected Damage might not.

Yeah, damage from abilities (as opposed to regular "right click" attacks) doesn't seem to update right away.  Another example that seems repeatable is the Path of The Warrior unlockable ability that does a double damage attack, the enemy hit bar doesn't actually decrement until later.
