Possible bug with Blazing Shield and Champion System?

I was testing out different ideas with the Champion System and I decided to make my Blazing Shield bigger.

So I put 31 points into Bastion, which should increase my shield by 10.7%. However, this only increased my Blazing Shield from a 26% shield to a 29% shield, hardly worth the investment.

Why is this? Am I missing something here?

    Because a 10% increase to a shield that's 26% brings it up to 28.78%

    It's not a 10-point increase. It's 10% of what the shield is originally. It appears to be working as intended.

    Ooooooohhhh okay I see now. Thanks for the quick reply :)

    Wow and that really sucks too, not even worth the points. Sadly, champion system doesn't seem as strong as I thought lol

    i like the crit bonuses at 30 cp in mage tree and the cost reduction and damage increases. i think those are well worth it. but the 12% crit especially. but you gotta farm that 90 cp..

    If you invest 100 points into Bastion CP your shiled will be 32 or 34%, don't remeber correctly. Anyway with current trash BS you don't wanna invest any points into Bastion as there are more usefull CP.

    Basically it's not worth putting points into stuff that Starts off small. Light armour increase for example. Bastion is ok for a sorc but even then, it makes a 13K Shield into a 16k shield at max. Not something that will stop 2-3 wrecking blows from killing.

    Bypass 10% spell resistance. If they only have 20% resistance then you are bypassing 2%. Great.

    So I would suggest that points go into cost reductions, damage increases and anywhere that you want the passives.
