"(0 absorbed)" when my Sith Assassin's shield is activated.

Hey, good night everyone, I have an issue with my Sith Assassin's shield, whenever the shield is activated it doesn´t absorb any dmg, and it appears in red "(0 absorbed)". Does anyone know if this is only a visual bug or what can I do to fix it? I appreciate a lot your attention.

    Are you referring to to when your off-hand shield generator is a specific skill or relic?  I assume you are in defensive spec?

  • I mean whenever my shield procs it appears a legend saying It's absorbing no damage "(0 absorbed)" I'm not talking of an active offhand shield or a relic, also, I realized today that it also started to happen on my tank bounty hunter :/ and yesterday it was proccing correctly

    So I have an update on this issue.  It was tested and found that it is caused by the Amplifier "Fortuitous Redoubt".  Deflecting, dodging, or parrying an attack generates a redoubt to absorb a percentage of incoming damage for five seconds.  The issue is that the amplifier tested gives an absorb of 0.15%. Meaning every attack which does less than about 334 damage would only be absorbed by less than 0.5 damage which gets rounded down to 0 and is shown with 0 damage absorb in the combat log. This should only confusing for low rolls of that amplifier or in low level zones.
