501st Exposes/Sacrifice Bug

What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Summarize your bug My arena shard is full of Sith Empire + GBA teams. Whilst using 501st, if one of my clones has Exposes/Shock on them when they die, it doesn't trigger 5s sacrifice properly. This causes me to lose both clones, instead of the original target surviving with the updated stats. I'm sick and tired of losing because of your unintended interactions.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Take a 501st team w/ General Skywalker + 4 Clones (Fives, Rex, Arc, Echo), and fight Darth Revan, Malak, Bastila Fallen, and Geo Brood alpha. Eventually, you'll have GBA AOE and apply exposes across your team, and you can watch the 'magic' happen for yourself.

This bug is highly annoying, and causes arena losses.  Please fix it.

@SWGoYeti Nope, it's 20% of the max health of the target. All percentage based health attacks are based on a target's max health.

Using your example then, the expose damage occurs first, causing the sacrifice. Health regain is prevent due to shock. Target clone dies due to attack damage that follows, and Fives dies due to the sacrifice being proc'd.

As stated, this seems to be working as designed for attacks with multiple damage instances. If you can grab a video of this happening it can help the team investigate if they feel there is a bug. They are back in the office tomorrow.

@SWGoYeti Hi thanks for the report!

Remember that one effect of Shock is that they can't regain health. So if Fives sacrifices himself for a shocked clone, they will gain his protection but will be unable to heal to full health, and that is working as intended.

Have you read what I've actually wrote?

This is not about shock blocking health regain.  This is about an interaction between shock/exposes that cause the sacrifice to not properly function.

Might I suggest, perhaps, that before replying in the future you read what is in the actual bug report.  Thank you.

@SWGoYeti Shock blocking health regen can play a part in it.

When a character with expose is hit, the expose damage and attack damage are two different damage instances. One damage instance triggers the sacrifice, then the second damage instance can be sufficient to kill the clone that should be saved, particularly if they can't get the heal from Five's sacrifice due to shock.

The more exposes, or other damage instances, the more likely you are to see this behaviour. It's particularly noticeable vs Droidekas in LS GeoTB.

Thanks, I did read your report. It was fairly vague about what was happening and what "not sacrificing properly" means. Quite frequently we have to make educated guess about what players are reporting, and try to answer based on partial information. 

As Christoph said, if shock prevents the heal, subsequent damage from DR Secondary attack and/or expose may be sufficient to kill the primary target. This would match what you are reporting. 

Is that what you are actually seeing? If not, please provide more details or share a video or screenshot to help us  understand what you're trying to report. We are here to help!

The expose removes 20% of CURRENT health, right? Not Max health? And why wouldn't the expose damage land first? It's suppose to trigger when attacked, which should layer its damage hit first, no?

Hi @SWGoYeti thanks for the report. 

From your description, it sounds like @ChristophIV and @GladOS-013 are correct in what they are saying.

If you can provide video of the issue you are describing, we could look into this further otherwise, it sounds like its working as intended.
