JML + Bastilla lead + Wat = problem
Just saw Bulldogs video where JML with tank tech under Bastilla lead will recover his bonus protection every turn, making him practically unkillable. SEEP cant even kill him on offense, since his Link...

As a SEE owner myself I feel like i need to post this from all my testing because there is some MAJOR discrepancies to how protection, protection up, and targets with "technically" 0 protection works.
Frankly... the devs need to talk a look on how exactly protection up works.
Padme, Rey, and Jolee can give protection up to people with 0 total normal protection. I saw this when I hit a GK with SLKR siphon multiple times and his protection bar disappeared entirely, hence he was at 0 max protection. Rey was still able to give him protection up. GK also still taunted from this protection up.
NOW... here is where the discrepancy comes in... treya cant give protection up to malak... who should be able to get it based on that earlier GK example. You target malak with the friendly part of the isolate and he gets the CD reduction but no protection up.
protection regain hits protection up, aka wat tank/medpack techs, JKR assists, hyoda, ect... so obviously based on THOSE abilities protection up acts exactly the same as basic protection.
That would explain why malak cant get protection up, but by that account hitting malak with protection up would technically add to his max health since he converts all protection into max health, but this doesn't happen.
And by the account of protection up acting like base protection that means SEE SHOULD be able to drain it away, but that also doesn't happen. This completely counters the protection regain telling us that protection up is technically protection....
So, either all of this is a bug or there is multiple interactions that all act differently and contradict each other.
Would love dev feedback on this.
EDIT: no clue how to tag devs. help would be appreciated as i rarely post
Edit 2: this protection up with protection regain is also present in ships. Things like Falcon's heal regains protection up along with most the GR lineup.
