Obscure overload

So, twice now I’ve used obscure overload to avoid certain death. Twice now, doing so has caused certain death. Is doing this supposed to do more damage to me than a devastating salvo, or is this confirmed as a bug?

Huh - has not been my experience. It’s been not-that-useful (i.e. small reduction in Illumination) but also not harmful. Sounds like a bug to me for sure.
