I think thats supposed to be the way it works, I don't recall my pets ever double bubbling me, they do the other bots but I think you just get the one buff that won't stack so they don't bother.
I'd love to be wrong and have this be a bug as my MM would get a massive defence buff, but I think one version is all you get.
The pellet with the poisons in the Vessel with the Pessel, the Chalice from the Palace has the brew that is true...

Looking at the Combat Attributes for the pets and player shows that the bubble defense does stack on pets that get double shielded, so I'm wondering if it's WAI. They recently were looked at with the Combat Pet fix for the Protector Bots, so a bug report wouldn't hurt just to get it looked at.

It's not a bug, this is WAI.
Also, we don't need the devs taking a close look at bots. They're already overperforming as it is. Any close looks will result in nerfs, not buffs.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
Always been that way.
The A.I., now, that IS bugged. Drones and Protector bots have taken to running up and Brawling enemies, rather than sitting back and shooting like they should do. It's fairly recent, too, but Bot have, ironically enough, always had a lot of glitches in their circuits.

Currently the protector bots double bubble everything except the mastermind. I've tested this several times with a fresh summon, the protector bots will cycle buffs on all the other bots as normal, and will double buff all of the temp pets currently summoned, but when they get to the mastermind only the first bot to cycle his bubble will actually cast it, the other just sits there.
I've logged out and back in with pets desummoned and buffs gone, summoned fresh, and protector bot 1 will always bubble me and 2 won't (as bot 1 gets summoned first and cycles first). If you need rebubbling after combat or something, whichever bot gets to you first casts force shield.
