Fireshield = Invulnerability during Killmode Stun

[Aldren]

Attached is a log where we were both on killmode stun, and Ashonn's fireshield continued to do damage to me on every strike after he was already stunned:

I had to flee to have the fight ended, as my health was rapidly draining. Currently it makes the person surrounded by fireshield immune to stunning, and they continue to kill the person they are fighting via the damage it creates.

[Orplar]

I've had this happen as well.

Confirmed - I think the problem is simply that the attacker continues to attack the fireshielded opponent after they are unconscious. There's nothing else broken save that the attacker continues to attack, into the next round, right?

[Aldren]

This is correct. The person with fireshield does not get stunned (or if they do get stunned, their fireshield continues to do damage). The stunned person (with fireshield) will continue to do damage to their attacker and the rounds continue to move until either the attacker is stunned or they decide to flee. This is a very fickle bug and it's been causing quite a bit of distress among people trying to utilize fireshield.

Is this also the case with other "shield" spells such as iceshield, shockshield, etc?

[Namic]

Yesterday I entered two different spars with Fireshield active. when I got stunned the fireshield did damage to them and brought me back from unconsciousness and the fight continues on till fleeing or accidental death. Not sure if other spells are affected but assume they are.

[Raona]

Confirmed this holds for acidshield, iceshield, and fireshield. If these are active on a stunned combatant and both PCs are in killmode stun, combat will continue with only the non-stunned party getting hurt.

To reproduce:
Load two PCs, one a wizard with a <fire/ice/acid>shield spell and the other any you want, but strong enough to easily best the wizard in melee.
Have the wizard cast <fire/ice/acid>shield
Set both PCs to killmode stun and then initiate combat

Observed: Once the wizard is unconscious and the non-wizard starts pulling their attacks, combat will nonetheless continue.

Expected: Combat should come to a halt at this point.

Theory: The <fire/ice/acid>shield counter-attack is performed in the name of the wizard, which keeps re-initiating combat:
