Ground shield procs

sqwished · June 2015

Can someone explain the difference between the [Cap2] and [Cap]x2 procs please? Also is there anyway to find out what the stats would be without the [Cap2] proc in effect.

My understanding is:

Neither [Cap] or [Cap2] are procs, but are passive (always on) increases to shield capacity.

[Cap2] doubles the shield's capacity whereas [Cap] increases it by 10%

[Cap]x2 uses two of the available modifiers for the shield (it's essentially [Cap] [Cap]) and is a 20% increase in capacity.

Items get 1 modifier at common (green), 2 at rare (blue), 3 for very rare (purple), 4 for ultra rare (violet) and get a 5th special upgrade at epic (gold).

[Cap2] (as far as I know) is only available as an Epic upgrade for ground shields.

I do indeed have a ground shield of epic quality, Yet I'm unsure as to whether the [cap2] is working correctly. I friend seems to think it isn't. Now I already know there's an error some where because the shield tool tip states a total capacity of 577 and yet the stats window displays a capacity as 576.

First, be sure you are on a ground map. Second, put it on a boff not your captain (traits and skills can have rounding or other weird display anomalies). Or leave it in inventory.

Finally, it may simply be a rounding display error if its one point off like that.

The main issue I'm trying to work out it was the shield capacity would be if the quality and mark remained the same but the [cap2] proc is removed.
