Hardened Ward no longer scales off spell power?

Nadestepper
I don't know if this was in the patch notes or not, but in pvp my hardened ward is 6086 +33% more damage whether my spell power is 500, 1800, or over 2000. I equipped new gear and noticed this when I was looking for how much my spell damage was changing. I noticed hardened ward did not go up at all, so I unequipped all of my weapons and hardened ward was still the same. Was wondering if this was in the patch notes and is already a well known thing.

    Insofar as I know, Hardened Ward has always, and still does, scale off your magicka pool only.

    ^ This.

    Hardened Ward has always scaled off your max magicka pool. It is the only shield in game to do so. This has not changed with the new patch. However, shields did take an increased nerf in PvP which is why you might be seeing smaller shields.

    Actually dampen/harness magicka scales off magicka as well. Healing ward scales off of health.
