Righteous fire + Rise of the phoenix fire resistance bug

Good evening to all, I decided to write this thread for something that I think appears to be a bug at least that's how it looks to me. I have a righteous fire marauder build and apparently my resist in merciless is lower than it should be to run this aura which is righteous fire as seen in the image below.

My fire resistance is only 63% in merciless at this point. After that I active my righteous fire and of course as it should be it will burn my life until it gets low life and my Rise of the Phoenix unique shield doesn't give me +25% fire resistance and make it 87% and stops burning me, as you can see in the images below.



Now what the interesting part is and looks to me as a bug is that my life regenerates and I actually regenerate to maximum health, but it seems like the game still thinks I am low life and keeps the +25% fire resistance on and I am basically not burning anymore as you can see in the image.


Wanted to post it and see if this is intended to be like that or is it actually a bug?

It *is* a bug, but only with the client's display of your health. You actually are on low life (or rather, changing between low life and not low life constantly), it's just that your health globe doesn't realise. I think this was reported a while ago, but obviously not fixed yet!
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

Yep, it's been around for a while. Most people don't catch what's going on though; sharp eye :)

As Dudio points out, this is only a display bug. The server has you hanging around 35% Life, and if a monster hits you, the client will resynchronise and put you at (now-below) 35% Life as is appropriate. Pretty dangerous, so it's good to be aware of it happening.
Found this old post about the Righteous Fire/Rise of the Phoenix interaction. Experiencing same issues in an Elemental Weakness map so adding some information I've gathered hopefully to help solve the bug.

Bug report reference number: 1,656,194,228


Scenario 1:
At full life with Purity of Fire, Stone Golem, and Righteous Fire with 6x Endurance charges. MY character has 711.5 life regen. Once Endurance charges fall off, my character will take an unusually large amount of degen (~75% max life) but life regen on my character sheet says 552.6. The degen seems to stop around the low life threshold and my health will start to regen where it should be at normally (552.6).

Scenario 1.1:
Same test with 6x Endurance charges but looking at Fire Resistance instead of life regen.
No Endurance charges no RF 70% (70%)
6x Endurance charges 87% (94%)
Endurance charges ran out 70% (70%)
Hit low life threshold (with Rise of the Phoenix 25% additional Fire Resistance) 87% (95%)

Healed back to full 87% (95%)
6x Endurance charges 87% (100+%)
Endurance charges run out 70% (70%)
Low life 87% (95%)

Hideout Fire Resistance 87% (159%)

After reading Vipermagi's above post. I can confirm any damage from monsters and even a Blood Magic gem linked skill will constantly reduce life to low life which explains some of the issues I was having.
