Shield bash not working

[Andrus]

In our first game, shield bash have worked to 100%, it seems they have tried to patched that, but the patch dont work, because now in our 2nd runtrough we have a rating of 0% succesful shild bashes. Is this a known problem?

I do not think that is known yet. Therefore I recommend a bug report

I can confirm, same for me. Animation of shield bash is played but no effect other than that. I test shield bash quite frequently with my paladin main and with Karlach. I have thought that I don't know some rpg rule which prevents shield bash but I'm in Act 3 and the game is a buggy mess so I changed my mind. Maybe this is a bug not a feature?
I have waited for 3 years for another famous game to be fixed and it is done by now. So I go back there and rather play that game. See you here in three years :)

Have fun with Destiny 2!
Just kidding. I meant Pathfinder.

Yeah sadly it's still bugged. I was confused by that for a while until I found that out. It's a bummer.

Animation plays - Literally nothing happens.

This is my experience as well, I thought they just nerfed it, but it's completely broken.
