Summarize your bug Nihilus "Lord of Hunger" ability is granting him protection regeneration from toons that have 0 protection in spite of the ability indicating that the protection regeneration is based off how much protection he steals from a character.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Enter Phase 1 or phase 4 of the Sith Triumvirate raid. 2. Bring any character down to 0 protection by any means. 3. Use a basic on Nihilus (preferably with a low damage character) with any 0 protection character, and observe that his protection meter is filling up, despite there being no protection for him to steal.

I recorded a Youtube video that explains and observes the entire bug taking place, here.
I'll leave the more detailed explanation of the bug here.
The raid boss Darth Nihilus' Unique ability, Lord of Hunger, states that whenever Nihilus is damaged by a basic ability, if the target had defense down, "that target loses 25% protection, and Nihilus gains that much Max Protection." This ability indicates that the protection is stolen from the target, given that the Amount gained is equal to the amount lost, however, this is not what occurs to units with less than 0 protection.
If a unit has 0 protection remaining, and they damage Nihilus with a basic, they incorrectly provide Nihilus with a boost to his maximum protection. Because the ability states that Nihilus is supposed to gain protection equal to the amount lost, Nihilus should not be gaining ANY protection from characters that have no protection.
This bug appears to be a relatively simple oversight, for it appears that Nihilus is simply gaining 25% of the targets max protection regardless, rather than gaining the amount of protection that the unit lost, as the ability says he should be.
Please fix this CG, this bug is a clear inhibitor of progress in Phases 1 and 4 of the Sith triumvirate raid, for it is not only preventing many assist teams that could flourish if they did not constantly (and incorrectly) grant Nihilus protection, it is also stifling the scores of teams that do appear to work in these phases.
