    I've noticed it too. Like a lot. I just figured their shield maybe was stronger at low HP. Thought it was some kind of Pariah/vampire/shield thing... Is it not?

    A shield can't negate health or make them immortal, it'll be a UI display bug.

    This used to happen with other UI add-ons during periods between patch version and current mod.

    Add on or not, if it's server based, they'll fix.

    Not dying at zero hp is not a bug. You need to take damage that puts you below zero hp to die.

    I've seen that happen in pve and pvp, well before Arcanists were a thing. I've survived at zero hp without shields on a templar and warden.

    Now if there's something other than roll dodge that's preventing the player from having damage properly applied and killing them, yes, it needs to be investigated. But merely not dying at zero hp is not a bug.

    Was your health desynced at any point prior?

    I wish logs in pvp weren't so incredibly awful, because the ability to go back and compare this fight to a log would be really helpful-- is this a UI bug? How much damage did you actually take? Does it add up to your health?

    Or is there a bug keeping the arcnist alive when it should be long dead?

    Arcanist are immortal.

    That reminds me of some fel enchanced beings in world of warcraft. I'm wondering if the arcane in eso and the fel magic in wow are the same thing 😳.

    none of the arcanist shields scale with missing health, a lot of them scale based on your max health though
