sniper marksman shields all of them still bad

Next time use evasion too. Then you'll be invincible.

If we had a true combat log that shows damage incoming, you'd know what hit you. Then you could post the screenshot. I find shield probe absorbs a few hits, I'm guessing you were focus fired by multiple people. Get off the train tracks.

 

no such thing as invincible

It was probably just a latency thing.

 

The same thing happens with moves like Force Speed, or Covered Escape.

 

You activate one of those instant abilities, yet can still receive from and even die from a melee attack. In theory your instant ability would outrange such attacks, but many of those abilities are instant as well.

 

And if someone throws out an instant melee swing, and you throw out an instant escape, well both of those can't be possible. Which is why rubberbanding happens, or if you spam skills its' possible to lose a GCD without a skill activating.

 

The same logic applies to your shields. Entrench has its' own activation animation just like most CCs, so it all comes down to server latency and who's ability the Server decides goes first. Thus sometimes you'll end up being knocked out of cover with your entrench on cooldown, or use shield probe be killed and realize the probe never mitigated any damage because you died before the animation finished.

with the necro of old ops it turns out several of the things listed in this thread are still true. I assume they are still being worked on.

I believe Arthas' Horse is called Invincible

 

But.. on topic:

 

I'm glad to see that the knock back while entrenched/hunker down is a bug, it has existed for a very very long time. I do believe you should be immovable while in Entrench. Otherwise, what is the point?

I have been forced pushed by sins/shadows while entrenched. Maras and jugs too. And yes I am aware it has a time limit, but I shouldn't be able to be CCd and pushed while entrenched. This has been broken forever. We had a few threads awhile back and nothing was done then, either.

 

Shield probe and ballistic dampeners have no effect that I am aware of, even with the utility. I don't know how to measure it. I don't even bother using them or entrench anymore because they have been broken for so long.

 

I don't really care anyways as I have shelved my sniper pretty much and play witcher 3 instead, and besides snipers are easy kills for my other characters. I main a guardian now, like everyone else. Gotta love the Lay on Hands ability. A free full health bar FTW.
