Question about Defense Calculations

[Tommi]

Thanks for the test. Strange that the two shields have almost the same defense, but the defense totals with the stormshield were that much higher. Noting that Defiance was 20 % lower with Stormshield, I would have expected that the total defense with Stormshield had been lower. <_<

Can you give your pally's dexterity, item defenses, and exact total defenses with the both shields so that I could try to figure what's going on? Did the character screen update the loss of +2 to skills correctly? Note that the character screen does not update correctly on occasions, especially when you change items or lose skill bonuses. You can force it to update by changing auras.

Cheers,

Tommi
