It honestly feels like there are two types of damage that goes on in a battle, the damage the games registers as received on your end, and then damage that registers are dealt on the enemies end. Therefore making two types of damage registers, resulting in enemies dying late, or not dying at all even though you seemingly deal enough damage to kill. Same would go with the wards, your side registers as deflecting, while the enemies super or whatever they used to kill you, doesn’t register as being deflected.

They're fine. Your timing is just off. Once you start to master the timing they're one of the best exotics in the game.

They need knee pads in order to work properly imo

Its bugged. Bungie know and probably can’t be bothered to fix it.

The perk wasn't made to make you a god. As soon as you deflect the damage, that in game item becomes yours, and you take damage from your own attacks. When you deflect something, aim up higher than usual, and the blast won't be thrown in your face. Also, it reduces damage, but doesn't negate it. I've tested it with many, many things, and used them mostly during LoW meta, cause it would shut down someone with it. With supers: It can eat a tether, bounce back one set of blade barrage, i think bounce a nova. It can deflect a golden gun and one shot them, deflect a dawnblade and one shot them, Hammers can easily be deflected, but be careful of a sunspot, you take considerable damage from all of these (Or die). Fusions don't work because there is a small gap between you and the shield, so you can deflect one bolt, but the other eight just fly into you, behind the shield, especially if you're sliding at the enemy. Shotguns get deflected back at the enemy, and you lose about half health, a slideways shotgun pairs well with this exotic. Rockets, Gl's, and guardians grenades and throw able melees all readily deflect, just don't aim down or you take the damage anyway as it explodes at your feet. I've tested, and abused these for a long time now. They're a skill based exotic that are well balanced and would be hell if they were simplified. Practice more or put on another exotic.

If you think Antaeus wards are bugged YOU ARE NOT USING THEM CORRECTLY. I can’t tell you how many times they have saved my ass but they do not make you immortal. The wards reflect SOME bullets and will reflect MOST of a super. There are a few things they can not deflect 1. Auto/pulse/smg fires too fast to effectively push with Antaeus. Do not expect to survive 2. Mountaintop AOE will probably always kill you due to the way single shot gls work. You can effectively block heavy gls 3. Nova bomb and Blade barrage will almost always trade with you. The aoe will kill you. Antaeus is extremely lethal in a good titans arsenal. They can be used to push snipers, live shotguns, and have the same Aggro power as the one eye mask. I predict that when one eye is nerfed, these forums will be up in arms about the power of Antaeus shouldercharge combo.

How about they change the exotic perk to make Titan Barriers reflect attacks? They can break after the same amount of damage.

I beg to differ my friend. All it takes is practice. I rarely get misadventures nowadays when I use them, and I have SO many more deflections I could post. It takes time to master them, but they work really well

Just slide around all the time and youll generate super energy pretty effectively, then swap to a different exotic that helps your super once you get it.

From personal exp with them the perk is fun and can shut down so many people (such as blade barrage spamming no skilled hunters) and yes it is a bit finicky to use BUT in defense for the kinda high skill cap for them they are kinda on the thin line of being over powered. I mean if antaeus wards was any easier to use or lasted even 1 second longer they would possibly be more OP than OEM cause you reflect EVERYTHING with them. From handcannon shots to rockets and grenades you can even reflect nova bombs and blade barrages. Like these greaves are on the border of being over powered and the high skill cap is the only thing stopping them from being over powered. Cause if you take the time to master these greaves you deserve the kills you get with the reflects.

I think what happens is an explosive projectile can actually go UNDER the barrier dependent on the terrain. Ensure the shield extends lower on the z axis and most issues will be fixed.

Both these and reflecting arc strider. Don’t know how there’s bleed through damage or suicide, probably just bad latency issues and/or bad design
