Shields in 500 patch

question
pc
#1

I have crafted hardened steel shield post “500 patch” - equipping it gives around 1% damage mitigation.

Does anyone remember shield stats pre-500 patch? I have a feeling above mentioned “change” has been “dropped” somewhere on the road to the final patch version.

Also thralls and npc don’t use it to block xD

#3

I thought sheilds were supposed to have gotten a boost?!

#4

Is that with or without wearing anything else?

Going from 800 to 900 armor is about 1% damage reduction.

0 to 100 however is about 30%

they still not really viable for pvp, spear can do 2 attacks in the time your dude wants to take the shield up :smiley: I dont think the armor was ever a problem…
