Testing out builds in the Slaughterstar 3000, recently got a Transformer Shield with 20% action skill anoint and was cruising through then I noticed something.

The Hackdogs Shock AoE that slows you down, STILL does damage to your shields, despite obviously being a shock effect.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s flagged as the wrong damage type, or just straight out glitched.

I think that particular enemy actually negates your shield entirely with its AoE ability.

It makes sense, considering its purpose is to disable things. Maliwan was using them to disable Atlas’s turret defenses.
