Particle Shielding on my new Tank is buggy.

[cfarevival]

When I activate particle shielding, I get an absorb shield of 1110.3.  However, if I activate it again, with 100% health plus absorb shield, it reduces my absorb shield to 763.7.  Pretty sure it should not reduce!  I understand not wanting it to stack, but pretty sure this is wrong.

Are these numbers consistent, or was the first absorb number possibly being boosted by an outside source like Incandescence's +healing effect?

I have noticed it does that also. Never understood why. It seems to alternate. You get a big absorb then a small, then a big and so on.  The actual bar is less every other casting.

It's because of the absorb cap, and how the power reapplies. Reported this once before, but didn't care to raise a stink about it with the devs.

 

@Bopper gave a breakdown.

 

 

 Would be nice to get a fix, assuming the devs don't feel it's "WAI".

@Burk  The numbers are just like @Gobbledegook states.  They alternate.  When not allowing the particle shielding to drop, odd sequences give 1110.3 (1st, 3rd, 5th, etctimes applied) and even sequences give 763.7 (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc times applied).  Originally, I had it as an autopower, but now I don't, because I want 1110.3 reliably.  This is an important consideration when tanking Hami, Marauder, or several other major AVs that I have built him for.  It may be minor to some, but I would at least like to report it (and maybe get the bug finder badge, haha!)
