Patience does not apply to Shields

[Skjoldofr]

Hello!

Patience applies it crit multiplier to offhand weapons, but does not apply the crit multiplier to Shields.
Could vanguards get some love here and let us benefit from the increased crit multiplier on Shields please?

Or would a dev be able to chime in and explain the decision process for why the increased crit multiplier does not apply to Shields?

Is patience code for something? Maybe a known DDO stat?

The feat isn't intended to boost shield damage. There may be a feat like it in the future that does, but this one does not.

Shields dps builds have been left in the dust for years, its a shame we can't have nice toys like the rest

I think that convincing people to do 10% fewer attacks was an ingenious way to reduce excessive combat-roll lag.

I can't say I'm not disappointed, but thank you for responding.

I look forward to seeing what you may implement in the future to further support vanguards.
