Since the new update and content has come into effect, I, and a few friends playing GFs, have notice a a very frustrating problem. The problem is massive differences in damage received from attacks, usually in dungeons. Specifically, we are occasionally killed in one hit; while running full feat valor (increase damage resistance by 40%), with our shields up and facing the attack. For instance the scorpions claw attack in Lostmauth usually hits me for 3-6k while performing the above stated actions. But, once in a while the same scenario will play out, with me taking 109,000 or so points with of damage (ALL of my health).After pulling up the combat log, I saw that the original hits on these are supposedly 21,000 damage or less, but get "mitigated" to an number scores higher. This is happening even when we are not debuffed. This needs fixed, ASAP. Has anyone else been seeing issues like this?

Gear is aliance, with elemental alliance helm, damage resistance boosted to 72% by valor (unsure of soft/hard caps), 109.k hp, 8,183 defense, facing ONE enemy who kills me in one hit through my raised shield.
I go to aggro a Lumbering hulk in epic cragmiore crypts. I currently have 42% DR another temporary 30% DR from negation, and I mark + bullrush (another temp 50% DR) to get threat on him as quickly as possible. He turns and smacks me before I have shield up for 100k but the bug kicks in and now instead of the 100k being reduced by my damage resistance+ temporary damage resistance it gets multiplied by 122% so I take 222k in a single blow.
This is what is happening and very easy to test using scorpions or brute mobs in well of dragon/t2 dungeons.
This leaves a lot of people asking what the heck I am doing lol and tell me how to tank

I believe that Knight's Valor is glitched and not working properly. Tried using in a max damage resistance build and its like my armor class and damage resistance doesn't even work even with shield guard up. I took Knight's Valor off my load out and the one shots stopped instantly and my spec seems to be working now.
It was definitely aggravating getting one shot with a encounter that's supposed to provide 30% damage resistance at rank 4. I think it may have been inadvertently glitched when they made changes in mod 6 or mechanics updates for Paladins. Trying to be optimistic and not think they did it purposely to make all tank players go Paladin for revenue exploitation. I've known Developers to underscale / overscale stats to sway people to make new characters at other Gaming companies for MMO's.
Due to high armor penetration of enemies in dungeons is why tanks are getting one shot. I believe now they want Tanks to be tanks with high health or defense for this mod on Xbox one.
Gonna have to xhange my build now rhat i dont need to mitigate 1mil hits lol
