    Shields after 9.1 still take to much dmg

    as a followup of https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthrea...ke-to-much-dmg

    with 9.1 NOTHING has changed to the better, as visible in the new video taken 14th may 12:30, a couple minuts after the mainteneance, my shield is taking aproximatly 1/3 of its HP as dmg form 2 suicide drones, resulting in 4.6m-4.7m dmg to the shield
    as also visible in the same video my charachter itself takes ~5.5 small armor bars as dmg, so~300k

    calculating in the effext of my explosive resistance ( 68.2% as shown in the video as well) the drones deal ~950k raw dmg, or roughly 4.9 times LESS then the dmg my shield is taking

    so pelase confirm or denie that this is working as intended and if indeed it is a bug, please fix it ASAP as this is a gamebreaking bug for any shielduser
    also please clarify if defensive stats like explosive resistance or protection from elites should transfer to the shield or not, as this makes a very huge difference for the builds used with a shield

    13,7 mil shield armor, 1,5 mil my armor and 307k health ..... yellow mob (not rogue, not tank) on HC no directives, 2 shoots, and I am dead. Indeed a good fix. Normal mobs still rush you, spam everything. I honestly don't see any difference then it was before. Maybe it is just some coincidence, we will see if this continues in upcoming hours but for now, nothing has really changed.

    EDIT: gave it a try for a few hours, tested missions, lvl4 points, roaming, etc ... absolutely no changes. I still get enormous damage while they are still the biggest bullet sponges ever. Everything that was said about mobs rushing, encircling, nerfing, bombs, precision, etc was not delivered.

    Right now, I just don't know what else to say. Promises are broken again and the game is at least for me very unenjoyable, alt-F4 crushed it. Don't have the patience to play it again.

    Good luck to fanbois.

    1) try comparing taking damage by exploding drones whilst not in cover;
    2) maybe explosive resistance doesn't work with shields, try without it and see if they are the same.

    if the drone is infrom of you it will attack the shield, ifg it is beside, behind or above you it will ignore the shiedl and go for charachter
    its the same for any attack, if they dont come from the front ro up to ~60° to the side it circumvents teh shield and cna hit your char

    to 1)cover does not reduce the dmg taken form explosives it either nullifies it(eg grenade inform of the cover) or does exactly nothing (eg airburst or drones)
    to 2)i know that NO definsive stats affect the shield and i do point htat out and i do factor it in, so thats why i get 4.9 times the dmg instead of more then 15 times
