This occurs only on PVP areas, I experienced this while using bow.
I receive the damage right away after the arrow flies off from the bow.
Very fatal, specially when you use arrow hoard.
In my case arrow hoard did a 20 recoil damage.
Didn't have the chance to catch a snip but will update this post with photo in it.
Electric damage causing self harm when shooting arrows.
Re: Electric damage causing self harm when shooting arrows.
Thanks for the info. I just tried by shooting an electric arrow in PVP, but unfortunately it isn't happening for me. Did you hit another player with your arrow? I'm confused because you say it damaged you as soon as the arrow left your bow?
