Oh, so this is what was in
Oh, so this is what was in that patch. There weren't any release notes, so I'd assumed that the changes were all under the hood.

We didn't realize that snuck
Yes, that was an oversight. It was all under the hood stuff save that.

Under the hood...
Since we're talking about Shield Health, will there be a Unique Variant available to increase this new stat?
Shields have defense and health, just like a player. When a shield blocks, any damage that gets past its defense degrades its health, which regens over time. Once a shield reaches 0 health it breaks. So even if the shield has no defense against a certain damage type, it still has a wall of health that can absorb the damage. Obviously if the shield does have the right defense less damage gets through, taking more hits before breaking.
