Shield of Capacity (in General)

Maybe i am misunderstanding the second effect of the shield. Once it flashes (absorbs physical damage) the next hit, if using a hammer, should be more and up to triple the damage?

I have noticed that after my shield flashes, the next hit is usually lower than my normal hits. Is that suppose to happen?

To small a value to draw anything from.

Damage ranges are too random.

Your after shield hit was larger than a previous one;

I thought i would also add in this fact.

Which at lower levels would probably be noticeable.

Negative 12% to DX and Skills with 2-handed melee weapon

that is true. but out of 13 hits, the one after the flash was only larger than one of the previous 11 hits.

i been noticing that in a lot of fights, maybe its because I am still doing and receiving realatively low damage.

and like you side, its too random.

thanks for the reply

It is a consistent type of random.
