1.10s Holy Shield defensive bonus - Nicator - 10-06-2003
I was testing a SS pally yesterday, with Holy Shield slvl 18, and noticed something curious: The defense rate was above 6k :huh:
The shield screen showed the expected defense bonus, and when I removed the shield the defense rate, on the stats screen, turned from blue to white showing a defense rate a little above 1k. Later I found a skill temple, and after hitting it the defense rate went above 9k :blink:
I'm curious if this is the screen, a bug, or a new feature.

From the v1.10s patch change list:
Quote:6. Major Bugs
...
- Holy Shield now boosts the defense of the player, not the shield.

New bug. Don't count on it staying.

Generally, readmes for patches list the major bugs they fixed, not the major bugs they introduce ;). So I'd think the change is intentional.

Hehe
I agree. Besides the fact that with no blocking while in block frame animation something should help the poor pally.

If so then my lvl 67 Defiant Avenger will be very well pleased.

I thought this was planned, and not a bug. I'm at collage atm, but check the patch changes link on b net, I'm pretty sure that the skill now increases your overall defence rather than just the shield defence. Might be worth checking... :P

I was just checking the Patch Changes Readme and it's listed under
Quote:6. Major Bugsnot under
Quote:8. Enhancements and other changesso Blizzard only knows.

This was listed under "Major Bugs" because it was a fix to a major bug. If you look at the 58 other items listed under "Major Bugs" and the 26 under "Minor Bugs", you will notice that they are all fixes, and not just bug reports. There isn't much room for second guessing here, and I think Holy Shield's new defense bonus is most likely here to stay.

0% on that page is a list of current bugs, it's all a list of changes. i can't see why there needs to be any discussion on it..
