Very serious combat bug?

[Sombre]

I don't think it's fair to say "well the game has been played so much eventually something like this was bound to happen" because you have no idea how often this has happened. In this instance it didn't just 'happen', it happened to an SC, he saw it and also reported it. There could be a load of times results like this happened and weren't noticed, or weren't reported.

Once the odds of something happening go over 1 in 60 million or higher I'd say it's a bug, because you also have to factor in the odds of someone actually seeing it and reporting it on this forum, probably leaving you with some insane odds.

So imo it's a bug, but it seems it isn't very common. Usually SCs do work very well. I do remember killing one of llamas bane lord thugs with a small number of flaggies though - they did have a blood/fire bless, but they still shouldn't have been able to kill it, because it was rocking huge protection and had no enc.
