I was doing a beast/shock themed clockworks tunnel level, and managed to get hit by a pair of electrolisk spit blobs. Somehow this managed to lock my knight into the shock spasm animation, and I was unable to shield or move him away from the spit wads, and subsequently he died. (From full health, no less)
I filed an F2 on this.
Ive just found spitting chromalisks tremendously difficult and suffer tremendous damage from then altogether. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just that they killed you so quickly and you lagged a bit.
i can see how this would happen, as each pool of spit seems to have a separate ability to apply status's, but it doesn't sound like a glitch... although very annoying.
for chromalisks, i find simply moving in to bait attacks then strafing can make their tiny area of effect useless most of the time. not to mention getting a ranged weapon and backing off. hope that helps.
it can also happen in Lockdown with shock bombs and such.
seems to be based on the hit chance of the status and the fact that you can get unluckily hit multiple times in a row.
Ok, this definitely isn't an isolated glitch. It just happened to me again with only a single electrolisk blob. This time I was luckily able to pull my knight out of it and didn't die.
