It should instead be something in the lines of..

"All your damage is increased by 20% when hitting a damage shield"

    The shieldbreaker 5th bonus, is just poorly designed. Hitting through the shield, it just promotes spam and bad combat, imo. Just give it the ability to deplete shields quicker, in effect breaking them faster, aka shieldbreaking. Not shield"backdoor".

    Its not like im asking for this in addition to its already stupid mechanic, imo I think its better for the dmg to actually hit the shield. Youre free to disagree btw.

    Yeah, from what I have seen, most people aren't running the IC stone-bought sets anymore, they aren't that good.

    Meh I was using 5pc of Shieldbreaker too for a fortnight then got bored as its laughably OP and pure easy mode, so went and crafted new vr16 legendary armour and wpns, and is a way better build now.

    I could get behind a damage bonus to shields instead of a shield "back door". I think 20% is way too much though. The top end PvPers already wipe shields in one shot.

    What about a shield debuff, much like the healing debuffs?

    Mmh, pretty sure I saw this set on one of Sypherpk's stam NB build...

    I do support a change to the 5-piece bonus to deal increased damage to shields, and yes, an extra % damage instead of a fixed amount. Even something as high as 30 or 40%.

    So in other words, you want something even more OP.

    Yea 20% was just a number I pulled out, it might be somewhat over the top, 15% however np imo. The dmg bonus goes away as soon as you hit the hp again. Its just there to help you get rid of the dmg shield faster. I feel the way the set is now...its just too easy with a bow.
