@CG_Kozispoon You recently replied to and closed this thread, because the team found no recent changes with Sith Trooper: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/SITH-TROOPER-PROTECTION-UP-DOES-NOT-SHOW-UP/td-p/6626415

 

However, here is a video of Sith Trooper gaining protection up under Darth Nihilus lead last year (timestamped to Crimson Barrage): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTOL_LvobaU&feature=youtu.be&t=3m14s

 

And here is the video you've already seen from the recent patch, showing no protection up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL5lkkeezkM&feature=youtu.be

 

The bug occurs specifically with Darth Nihilus lead. Maybe the team didn't test it under Nihilus lead.

 

Darth Nihilus lead has been non-meta for a very long time, so I don't know how old this bug / change is, since few players have used the Trooper / DN combo before the recent Sith revamp.

 

However, it's possible this is a recent change, and the team missed it because it was a change to Darth Nihilus's code, or to protection up in general, or to how it's displayed (rather than a change to Sith Trooper's code itself).

Thank you for this.  Yes there may be no confirmed changes per Dev, but then that means what IS happening is a bug and therefore needs to be addressed!  Can't wait to hear the response here!  Thanks for using my vid to prove your point!  Makes me feel all important and stuff!  :D 

 

Cheers!

@CG_MindTricks Look at DN leader ability.

It used to set protection to 0 (don't remember the exact wording.

now it is "Modify stat Max Protection by -1000% (multiplicative)"

This change was made so that sith under DN lead could not gain protection between GW nodes or encounters.

 

 

So before it made protection 0 now it makes protection a very large negative number. I am pretty sure what is happening is this very large negative number is enough to "swallow" the protection up that Sith Trooper is recieving

Hopefully they actually address the problem this time instead of closing yet another player investigated bug. Didn't help the community manager kept closing multiple reports of this bug. Getting tired of being a paying beta tester . It should be the other way around. Either hire some testers to do this work for you, or actually respect your volunteer beta testers and investigate when we inform you of bugs
