Absorb from Bio Armor's Ablative Carapace not working properly

[Elmyder]

In the past, if you activate Ablative Carapace a second time before the effect expires, it would simply renew the full absorb. However, for at least the last couple weeks (possibly longer, I rarely play my tanker anymore) this has not been happening. If you activate Ablative Carapace a second time before the effect expires, not only does it not renew the full absorb, it actually removes any existing absorb.

 

Edit: On my bio tanker, it consistently removes all absorb, as described. I just tried on my scrapper to see if it would be any different, and it is: Curiously, it removes most absorb, but leaves up the same amount each time. So something wonky is happening with this power, but definitely not working as intended.

I have also seen wonky absorb mechanics recently. I dont know if this was always the case, but I've seen the Defender ATO proc being removed when I expected it to stack.

It shouldn't stack right?  It should refresh instead, no?

I've been noticing odd behavior in my absorb on my Rad Armor tankers too; rather than refreshing for the full absorb amount, I'm getting anywhere from 60% to 100% of the expected absorb.

Is there is Wiki page or forum post that goes over the absorb mechanics in detail?

the Defender ATO? Not sure. It should either stack or replace. In either case, it's not doing that.

Yeah I can't imagine they would want it to stack.
