Still no reaction from ZOS, so a new thread - Boneshield does not work

Lhorion

As said in the title: Boneshield is bugged.

It should absorb physical damage depending on the caster's max. health.

The UI tells you there is a damage shield (like Harness Magicka gives du a shield against magic damage).

But in fact there is no shield. No physical attack will be absorbed!

I would be glad about ZOS answering how the skill should work, will work, did work!

It grants you resistances, and the shield goes to allies who activate the synergy.

Lhorion

Yes, you got 0,0000003% less damage from physical attacks (attention: hyperbel). But the tooltip tells you the boneshield would absorb damage depending on your health. The UI tells you there was a damage shield...... So we need ZOS zo tell us how the skill is intended.

1. No shield. just for the alies: Then change the tooltip and chance the UI showing a shield!
2. Damage shield for the caster against physical attacks (The "physical" Harness): Then fix the skill, it does not work!

Yep probably the tool-tip is wrong. Or when they redesigned the skill the man who was responsible for the skill description did his job but the guy who is responsible for the skill mechanic were too lazy to implemented

I think more confusion sets in when the tool tip says caster damage shield and then the game UI shows a damage shield on your health bar, but if it's truly providing something like Major Resolve. Or possibly something that stacks with Major Resolve if it's outside the normal formula.

Didn't test it on live, but on pts it worked according tooltip - granted physical damage shield.

Well... This thread is about the fact this skill dos not work. Tooltip is talking about absorbing physical damage, your UI shows you a damage shield, but there is no damage shield, you just get less damage from physical hits (but not enough for the major buff).
