Curse

I noticed this on my ranger too.....and sometimes it was happening when there was no other mob around except the one i was killing, and yet out of nowhere it would just start taking 0 damage a bunch of times, then after like 5 seconds, start taking damage again. This also happened pretty much in the asura area as far as I can remember. I just thought I was totally missing something, but now I'm betting its a bug...

gadd is fond of using iron mist, making all damage but that of lightning do 0 dmg

Heh so I was half right...:> It was the first time I ran with the earth henchmen *And by accident not sure how he even ended up, I didn't notice he was there untill the enemies were taking 0 damage*

It's happened all over the place for me, With or Without Gadd.

Ditto here..

Well I've noticed that would happen ALOT in NF and not just the mantids with stoneskin.

For me it's happened all over the place. The Jotun, Shelk...even the Destroyers. Usually when they are just about to die, with a sliver of life left, they'll go into "invincible mode" and just take a pounding for 20 seconds or so before finally dying. At least...that's been my experience.

Anet really needs to address this problem as it caused me to grind a batch of 5 skeletons for about an hour earlier today before they actually died... And the self resurrecting mantids.... cmon now really? SELF RES?!?!?! Fix this plz Anet!

I've seen a lot of [skill]Life Sheath[/skill] in use, probably just stuff like that in most cases.

I've had this bug a few times, in both Asuran and Dwarf territory.

On the other hand, I had it happen in reverse a few times as well, where I was taking 0 dmg (including from degen) without having any protective spells cast on me. Positive on that, as I'm a Monk, and I was confused as to why I wasn't dying since I was too busy admiring my Fiance to bother healing myself.

I don't remember the name of the skills that were on me, but the last time it happened was from a Hex Spell causing -4 degen, and the icon looked sorta like the Snowball one from Wintersday. Whatever spell that was, it had zero effect on me at the time - 5 minutes later in another fight it was the death of me.

I noticed this as well, in several areas, i found it weird, i was at the moment looking around the monsters, trying to find who was casting something for reduce the damage to 0 since what i was attacking didn't do any monsters skill/stance or anything for reduce that damage. Yet, i never found what was it, i didn't find the source of that effect.

Hasn't happened to me since I last posted.
Right now I'm at Center Chamber, haven't noticed it.
In fact those saying Asura area, I've cleared Magus Stones 4-6 times farming Asura points, easily 365-370 enemies per run and haven't had it pop up.
That "5 seconds of teh invicibliteee!" would've been noticable.

Perhaps the new build earlier today fixed it?

I came across this too. We were fighting one of those huge things in Norn country. This one happened to be a warrior. It would get a massive health increase every time it's health would have reached zero (as if using Divine Intervention). We were hitting this thing with Meteor Showers, Spiteful Spirits, Hex degen, bleeding, poison.. it just wouldn't die. We moved on and left it there to gloat.

I heard about that Jotun bug from an alliance member, can't do much about that until they fix that one. The sudden Mantid resurrects are part of their Parasitic Bite skill, even though it doesn't say it, they resurrect when they use it.

I have problem with the Savage norn bear usually it just disapear after taking some damage.But now he just unkillable when he reach 0 HP he just regain 25%HP and don't disappear.

Can't throw it into the growing pile of bugs just yet. What if it's some nonsense hidden feature, such as the immunity Kanaxai displays until knocked down? I know that's pretty unlikely, but it's best to try all possibilities before putting a label on something.
