this also happens on healing aura and the kinetics heals that i've seen, someone can be standing on top of the healing radius and it will miss them.
@ExtraGonk
Experienced this with absorb pain and a few other powers.
Most annoying was last night when summoning Jack Frost misfired 
I suggested a while back that AB didn't work correctly and got shouted down. I am glad, sort of, that other people have seen this.
Could have happened to me the other night. Scrapper in the red , i fired of AP and he died a sec later.
It could have been lag on this instance though at least thats what i thought at the time now not so sure.
Someone posted about this a while ago and I, among others, assumed he was seeing things.
However, last night i was exemped down doing the first ss TF and on 3 seperate occasions ap was activated, i lost health and the target didnt recieve any. They weren't mogged or carrying any status effect that would prevent healing. Any one else experienced this?
