Shield Power Nerfed?

in Tribble - General Discussion and Feedback
If I'm not mistaken, currently every point of shield power increases the shield regeneration of your shields by 4% and the shield hardness by .28%, Shields on Tribble give .1% regeneration based on max capacity for every point you have, and .2% hardness for every point you have.

Basically if you don't take a point in shield hardness, your shields are much weaker. If you do take a point, they're slightly stronger. If you invest fully, your shields will be about 40% stronger than they currently are. I'm sure the regeneration stat see's a similar penalty/benefit even though I'm not sure.

This doesn't take into account what's been done to the Shield Emitter/Restoration and Shield Capacity stats, but the point remains that where we didn't have to put a point to enjoy the benefit of, we now do.

    Yes. This was stated in a dev post somewhere already. I believe that even with this additional point sunk in to match the previous shield performance, you can still match or exceed existing builds in all ways with the new system.

    IMO the "Shield Mastery" skill is probably the most important of the new shield skills on the tree.

    maybe for pvp but avoiding one likely non-existent crit from an npc seems pretty much worthless to me.

    If we're talking about the shield hardness skill, it's amazing for Romulan captains running the Valdore console.
