Love the new heraldic armors for archers - thanks!
But I never had issues with my shield breaking too often even using 4 shield skill and unloomed shields, this is a stupid buff to agility shielders who already have it too easy after last couple patches (1h stab, rondel, wpf buff, etc). Don't even have to try with my agility shielder to do well, 8 shield skill practically unbreakable. Shields are breakable in medieval times, you hit someone's shield 6-7 times with a mace its going to get caved in, it shouldn't be able to take 40 hits.
