i know it protects you from status effects, but it doesn't seem like it's protecting my teammates when they're under my shield. are they supposed to be?

And you guys are absolutely
And you guys are absolutely sure they didn't step outside the shield radius the instant before they were attacked, right? Or they weren't killed by the hit that broke the shield? Have to remember that any attack that breaks your shield gets ALL the way through.
Coincidentally, smashing a charged Kamarin down on a shielding guardian's head and killing them is AWESOME. :D

I also noticed teammates
I also noticed teammates getting killed while under my shield and with it still having health. Odd...

Maybe the guardian shield
Maybe the guardian shield protects all allies in the bubble from attacks outside of the bubble?

@trying
If so that would be
@trying
If so that would be pretty useless. The bubble is big & most attacks are melee...

According to the lockdown
According to the lockdown announcment:
Special Ability: Guardian Shield
- Activating this ability creates a shield of protection for you and any of your teammates in its radius (instantly for you, and after 1 second for your allies)
- Any damage you or your allies take is blocked by the shield, but be warned, this may also cause your shield to break faster!
Assuming the 1 second lapse has occurred, it sounds like it should protect the allies regardless of the source location of the damage...
Perhaps this is a bug? Need more observations.

Twice today
I had the same sort of things happen to me today when playing Lockdown.
Playing Striker, I was with a Guardian under his shield. Someone dropped a VT and I got shocklocked nonetheless. I was really annoyed/surprised.
Again, I was with a Guardian and someone whacked me with their GF and I actually took damage.
Most of the time the shield works as designed. Sometimes though I think that where my screen says I am is not where I am on the server. So the server says I'm not under the shield and should be taking damage even though I can see myself, flabbergasted, under the shield.

I have also had several
I have also had several experiences where I took damage when I appeared to be protected by a friendly Guardian's shield, or when an ally took damage when they appeared to be protected by my shield. It seems to be substantially less damage than is usually taken with no shield, but the shield didn't break and the damaged knight was easily inside the radius.
This is most noticeable when I decide to charge straight at an opponent swinging my sword because I think I'm protected, and suddenly my combo is interrupted and I've lost health. Maybe you have only partial protection while you are attacking, or something?
Yeah I've experienced the same thing. I was killed while my guildmate was shielding (shield still at full health). Not sure if its a bug or..
