Bastion Merc - PRISMPLATE never used

I assume this is fallout from the patch made to fix the exploit with Bastion providing full immunity from the Impenetrable Bastion skill.

My Bastion merc is now just never casting Prismplate, ever.

Disappointing since I had built my character to rely on having that buff.

I have this issue aswell.
I logged in to farm and die a lot finally I figured out that prism plate buff disappear.

please fix this asap.
I can't farm now.

Same issue here, posting for visibility and quoting my other post with some simple testing i've done just for the sake of it

"I tried everything to get him to apply the buff again, he still puts his hands up like he's casting a buff, but no buff is applied, tried with CDR gear, all kinds of duration gear, no weapons, low life, taking damage, showing or hiding auras in UI, nothing seems to work. I guess they just straight up disabled the buff somehow, because it looks like he's still attempting to cast it. Before I was able to get him to use Prismplate on CD if I was not on full life, now when I enter a combat area he will put his hands up once when he becomes active, and then never again unless I am actively fighting something, before he would just use it on CD. it's like they added 100% less duration to the buff and then changed the casting parameters or something. No idea how they could have bricked Prismplate this hard by just changing the CD of the immortal buff.

I also did damage reduction tests vs caster skeletons in the acts to test and make sure the buff was not just invisible or the icon broke or something. i took identical damage with the merc fake casting the buff and with the merc reserved in town."

It is not working since the "hotfix" to bastion.

Facing the exact same problem here.

Merc is now not casting the buff (no animation either) at all.

Just imagine the people who rely on this buff running void maps, they go in and just poof character gone
