What Allows Havok to Remove Armor Up From Nimrod in BG?

Deacon

I can't figure this out. Fight starts and Nimrod has no armor up. I chalked it up as nothing and figured surely he'll gain armor ups like he typically does so no worries ... YET .. he gained NO armor ups the entire fight .. in and out of protocols ... parry ... nothing would trigger armor ups. I took feedback damage the entire fight ... I'm like ok WTH.

I read the node again ... looked at Havok's ability ... thinking to myself that I've fought Havok a thousand times in all kinds of content with Nimrod and not a single time have I ever been unable to gain armor up against him unless the node specifically said no buffs or no armor ups etc.

So what am I missing?

Okay, so I did some testing myself and my answer is that is a bug. Conflictor shouldn't be stopping nimrod from getting his buffs, and there is nothing in Havoks kit that prevents armor ups. Any AAR from him would be useless anyways against nimrod.

That's exactly what I thought ... I mean I was trying everything .. I'm like surely at some point during this match, an armor up buff is going to pop back up or something but nope. Parry after Parry .. protocol after protocol and nothing but feedback damage.

And yes, I lost the final round because of it. I go in laughing like why would you choose Havok seeing that I have a Nimrod but I guess he knew something I didn't smh. I'm thinking my Nimrod is about to destroy this dude. and then KABOOM.
