Profit-Taker shield regen: shields continue regenerating after reaching 100% of the shields after armor phase 2, leading to damage dealt being fully negated.

[Iterniam]

After the second armor phase, Profit-Taker will regenerate her shields while vulnerable to start the second shield phase, but the shields regenerate for an excessively long time.
This occurs in every Profit-Taker fight, without exception, and this bug has likely existed since the release of Profit-Taker.

The expected behaviour is that the Profit-Taker regenerates shields for exactly enough time to get from 0 to 100% shields.
Instead what happens is that she regenerates long enough to effectively restore 140% of her shields.
Even once she has fully regenerated her shields, you have to wait about 2 seconds or else she will simply regenerate the damage dealt to her.

An example of this behaviour and how it negates up to two elements worth of damage is demonstrated here.

In my mind, this is a very simple issue to fix: either decrease the time she spends regenerating or forcefully stop the regeneration process once she reaches 100% shields.

 

This is part of a series of bug reports related to the Profit-Taker fight. You can find the other bugs here:

• Profit-Taker leg regen
• Profit-Taker shield regen
• Profit-Taker pylon skip
• Profit-Taker affected by shield ospreys
• AoE weapons only deal their AoE damage portion when it hits the technical head of Profit-Taker.
• Inability to fire the zenith after cancelling the disc animation
• Arch-Gun deployment is currently unaffected by holster speed

Even if this was intended then there would be purple damage numbers for overshield damage which is clearly not the case.
