captains signet bugged

[exsea]

hi to all forumers. i m new here, not sure if im posting at the right place.

currently i m using a pure dex corsair. i depend on 2 captains signet rings to allow me to use good shields, in conjuction with the skill that reduces armour/shields requirement by 20% at lvl 6.

i ll be frank and say i duped the ring instead of looking for another one (don't judge me )

in theory i would get -70% (25+25+20) str reduction on shields, however all shields appear to have 0 str requirement and their reduction is show as 120%.
i would guess the calculation became 50+50+20. this bug does not appear on armor tho, or weapons, only shields.

i maybe duping but i dont want to go against the game mechanics. i m using fp 1.16 btw.

lvl 39 epic corsair now

Yea, it's a known issue. I think the 25% less requirements for armor also apply to the shields..

Aren't shields considered "weapons" by TQ? However, same result... just wondered myself about my -110%. Good to see the search-engine actually helps
