I don't play it, as I despise these generic looter shooters that have no soul, and are just there for the dick waggers, but this dev post is really fucking clueless;

"However, as mentioned above and observed in a few discussions recently, these mechanics are not 100% clear and, in some cases (e.g. spike damage protection/death protection & invincibility), are “secret” mechanics with hidden cooldowns. Understanding these mechanics is a key aspect of understanding damage mitigation or one-shot kill instances and related issues."

Secret mechanics? And then "Understanding these mechanics is a key aspect of understanding.... etc."

How do you understand something that's secret?

You built a game for the type of people that need every detail to do the math to be the best, like WoW raiders back in the day, but you have 'secret' and 'hidden' things?

Those are known as bugs. Their game is dead and they know it.
