Summary0001014: Firewarriors Able To Do Blast Trick
DescriptionWhat is the blast trick:

The Blast Trick is a trick normally performed only by the shaman, it allows the shaman by casting a spell (typically blast) at the correct timing to negate the falling damage of blast, 90% of blast's damage is falling damage and so this becomes a crucial trick in high level populous play.

What should happen:

The Blast Trick should be limited to only the shaman, only she should be able to cancel the falling damage of blast, a direct blast onto a firewarrior should kill the firewarrior, regardless of whether they shoot or not.

What currently happens:

A direct blast onto a firewarrior has a chance of being lined up with their retaliation shot onto a shaman (which they will get off reasonably often), this will cause the firewarrior not only to survive the blast, but not even be dizzy (on low HP). Demonstrating that he has cancelled the falling damage of the blast.
Steps To ReproduceHave a shaman defend against firewarrior attacks with blasts, get the timing right and you'll be surprised to find the firewarriors not dying

This is also an issue on 1.01 and more of an issue with the physics engine and if you fix it for fws you also fix it for shaman. Bugs don't limit themselves to certain units. Take your pick.
