Re: Shield tier issue

afaik tier 3's have a better ap/damage. Tier 4's have a shield size advantage.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

But a larger shield gives a better bonus to the ratio but it doesn't display it.

Re: Shield tier issue

The problem is actually what Alexander said, the hitsize is not calculated into the shield absorption display (but it works as intended on the field).

Re: Shield tier issue

It'd just be really awesome if it displayed it.
