Forgot to mention, every execute at 0% would simply MISS her too, and then she would heal up

I recommend removing any reference to player names from this thread unless you want it to just be closed/deleted for breaking the naming and shaming policy

Lets just say this is the same player from 1.6. Everyone knows this person. I've personally pushed this player well beyond 0 health multiple times.

While there may be a bug in the phoenix set, there is another possibility.

A player's health bar is calculated locally in the game client, and the status of such is sent to the server, which then propagates said status to other peoples' game clients. In the time that this is performed, your own client performs the same calculation, and if a hit SHOULD kill someone then it shows them as zero health on your client, though they are only dead when their own game client tells the server that they are dead (and then you see them as really dead). One of the ways this works is that the game code is not obfuscated well in memory, so it's possible to read/write to the health bar buffer such that a near continuous calculation is performed on incoming damage: If %incomingdamage is greater than %currenthealth then set %incomingdamage to %currenthealth-1

This keeps the person at 1 health (thus not dead) minimum. The way to kill them is to get enough simultaneous damage on them so that the process that would save them (otherwise keeping them at 1 health) misses one of the damage calculations. This is the same way that certain players (who we all know) kept their resource pools forever full in the last patch.

Yeah there is a bug. It just happened to me. I couldn't die. I believe it does have to do with Phoenix.

I was just fighting 4 EP. I went to zero once and phoenix did not proc. My health shot to full shortly after. I then let them beat on me. My health went to zero 4 more times with my health shooting back to full, then phoenix finally popped. After it popped they were then able to kill me.

Good stuff thanks for being honest.
@ZOS_GinaBruno please pass this to mr wrobel it needs fixed asap not next patch in 2 weeks

This happened to a player I was fighting yesterday; a blue on AS EU. His hp stopped at zero, mages wrath was exploding and he just stood there. It was almost like he knew cos he had his weapon away and wasn't fighting back. Eventually he died after about 15 executes and then myself and some friendly players started rubberbanding (teleporting backwards) as if grabbed by a DKs chains. Strange goings on.

Just read this in the latest patch notes:

"Item Sets

Phoenix: Fixed an issue where you could get stuck in a loop triggering this item set’s ability".

Yeah they broke something though.

For very bug fixed they create a new one ... will it ever end ?

It is the nature of programming. Try it sometime. It's not easy or intuitive.

That is NOT to say that their QA us up to snuff.

This makes me feel sad that I just bought the Phoenix set. Just been able to test it once and it helped me to avoid a certain death (also some 1500 TV stones). A great sounding set but I don´t want to intentionally run a bugged set. Lets see.

Yea they will need to fix this set fast, its a fun set to use but wearing it will only cause you issues with other players, a God mode bug getting through to live should never happen, ever.

This has happened to me once wearing the phoenix set since the patch; I fell three times and came back in a row in a single battle. But it's only happened once so far, it's very difficult to reproduce to try and figure out what's going on with the set still. So the positive of that is it seems to be working-as-intended probably 95% of the time.
