I hereby conform that Thoughness is still bugged.
Class: Veteran.
Thoughness: 253

Anything with enough alpha-damage, like a Pox-Buster, kills me on a blink. Sometimes, with low health, but full toughness, I don’t even know what killed me - a grenade (my own?), a backstabb, a fart from the friendly Ogryn next to me…

Please get this done.

These two issues don’t seem to be bugs.

For OP, you need to have 100% toughness for melee damage to not bleed through, not over 100. In your example, you said you had 150 toughness as Veteran but base Veteran toughness is 200 - you had less than the max and thus damage can bleed through.

For Valerius, Poxbursters apply Curse on hit, how much depends on the difficulty and on how bad the hit was but that can sometimes lead to an instant death regardless of toughness.

That said, we HAVE seen some issues with toughness and are investigating, but these examples don’t seem to be it.
