A new bug or a new "feature" Funcom

So I just noticed in the last few days that my thralls legendary weapon has been taking damage. She uses the mace heated argument and a flawless shield I crafted. Is this another change or possibly a bug?

BUG: Thrall loses weapon durability on main hand weapon when blocking with a shield

Game mode: Online Private (no mods) Type of issue: Bug Server type: PvE Region: EU This one is a bit weird and I can’t produce it consistently when I want to but it happens often during day-to-day combat. When equipped with a shield and a 1h weapon, the thrall losses durability on the main hand weapon when blocking friendly fire attacks and the weapon eventually breaks. PvP and Building Damage are both turned off (full PvE server): Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can …

Thank you, I am relieved it is a bug, and I suspected that it had to do with the sword shield combo, I am testing a legendary shield with a legendary sword right now to see if its a glitch with a non legendary combo.

I am pretty sure that it doesn’t matter but feel free

Since the other topic was closed, I can confirm that this has happened to me too - noticed when my thrall was suddenly weaponless, despite having just received a brand-new Mace (hardened steel IIRC). Had to hot-foot it out of the Maelstrom after that!

You can search for it on the bug forum. It is confirmed as a reported bug. I’d repair their weapon with a legendary kit and remove their shield until it’s fixed.
