Well this was a first for me after playing since D3 launch: I had a shield pylon fail to protect me in a GR. I was playing FB wiz solo with Enchantress follower. About halfway through the shield pylon’s duration, I received fatal damage and was saved by the Enchantress’s Fate’s Lapse. I did a double take and sure enough, there was the shield pylon and Fate’s Lapse icons both visible! Weird!
Was reported on the PTR forums when follower changes were implemented.
They never acknowledged or fixed the issue.
We suspected it was due to a mistake in which order things are checked, i.e. it checks to see if the damage would take you below zero health before it checks to see if a shield pylon is active and activates the follower’s cheat death save.

Happened to me twice in same day - February 2022. Both times follower cheat death was up luckily. Imagine how bad this could be if it r.i.p’d a hc hero.
