Look at protection not drop even though no defense down.

Hi there, looking at the screenshots and video provided, it works as intended. Any damage done to Darth Nihilus's Protection (the purple bar under the Health bar), does not count towards the damage done in the raid. It is the same case for Phases 1 and 4 in the Sith Raid.
Hope this helps, thank you.- GladOS-0137 years agoHero (Retired)There's currently a player-based investigation ongoing into situations where after a long battle, the protection bar for Nihilus grows so large that it becomes impossible for a player to continue to do damage.
Whether that is working as intended or not - the player base is not yet sure, and I haven't seen a succinct summary of all the variables.
I believe that it is much more prevalent in runs where Plague is applied to the bosses, because Talzin's basic will then boost Nihilus' Protection on more attacks, even when aimed at Sion.- blake0857 years agoRising Veteran
Nice! Apparently we have to do EA's work because they simply won't test it to see if it is WAI.
And yes, I've noticed that DN stops taking damage (even when he DOESN'T HAVE protection) after a long series of consecutive turns from the NS (i.e. when you drop 10% of his health and he hasn't taken a single turn) or when the run is already on the 40%+ damage done.
Sometimes using an special ability that is an attack wil again do damage to DN.
BTW, healing sometimes doesn't work either, even when there's no Bond of weakness, or they're really low (not more than ten)
Next Raid I will record it, let me know if I can help.

Look at the second video again for gods sake once defense down has been cleansed watch when asajj uses special and after that. WATCH PROPERLY A HIT FROM ASAJJ WITHOUT DEFENSE DOWN SHOULD CLEAR NIHILUS PROTECTION. I HAVE DONE THIS RAID FOR 6 MONTHS I KNOW THE MECHANICS.

Hey @najwa2012 - I watched the video. When your Nightsisters (including Ventress) hit Nihilus, his purple protection bar clearly drops.
However, given how little it drops, the conclusion is that over the course of the battle, you have allowed him to drain so much protection that his max protection is probably in the millions. And whenever he takes a turn or consumes some minions, he heals a certain percentage - which is why you see his bar go up around the 1 minute mark after he took another turn.
Without seeing the entire battle, it's impossible to determine exactly what happened, but the end result is that Nihilus' protection is so large that you will need to chain dozens of hits in a row just to reach his health pool.Edit - attached a screenshot of a very high scoring NS run. The run scored 10.5M points, but if you add up each character's scores, they did a total of 4.2 Million damage to protection. Given that Nihilus' protection bar rarely fills up above 10%, that means his protection bar likely was over 5M max protection! This means that there are ways for Nihilus' protection to become astronomically high - and this screenshot is from a run where Nihilus had plague for most of the battle.

Can you (really) check this? It's obviously not working as intended and you can see several proof about it.
