New bug on the 360. Confirm if this has happened to you.
Was patrolling earth over in the Rocketyard. Public event drops, eliminate the target, Hive Knight. Only one issue. He was level 9... with no shields. Just a typical major.
I briefly switch my weapons over to deal Arc damage on Murmur and arighan's blossom. Confirmed no shields. I switch over to arighan's blossom, blow the clip, then murmur and blow the clip. The knight is barely alive.
"This is just a typical major." and what pops in over the horizon? Sword of Crota knight. Kill the sword, smash the public event enemy.
Just a theory, but I'm guessing that if a sword spawns in and then a public event times itself right the bug produces a major which can be killed quite easily versus the normal "have a rocket launcher, one heavy ammo synth, and some friends still" to kill enemy.
Any of you ever had this happen to you?

Knights, Vandals and Psions don't have shields. Captains, Minotaurs and Centurions do. Those are the only mobs I've seen in the single target public events, but that's usually how I see it play out.
