Yes, the patch that was meant to reduce dmg by 10% for them didn't work at all, you instead now take that 10% directly from your health instead, meaning you don't actually have any dmg reduction at all and now you risk dying even when having shields.
And don't even get me started on the other bugs this introduced, sometimes you can't even see them wear armor, or the colors will be wrong, fx showing gray armor when they actually have purple
This is actually false. What is happening is that when the damage reduction happens, it is possible for some to bleed through the shield. When I say some, I am talking less than 1.
The problem is that the client inspects the damage and sees that it did any damage to health at all so it thinks the entire 25dmg or whatever was applied to the health so it decides to not display any of the shield effects.
Again, in reality, most if the damage went to the shield with only fractions of a health point deducted from health.
Still a bad bug since it confuses people but it's not really as bad as this post makes it out to be
