It takes about 5 seconds to realize why and I therefore conclude that whoever developed this change isn't that steeped in the game.
I actually think it was a pretty clever way to make it work. Most Sorcs have shields up 90% of the time. The fact that this will not proc in that90% time zone is a huge nerf for Sorcs who wear this.
Even if you are a Sorc that let's your shield drop 50% of the time, that is still a 50% proc nerf compared to the 100% of the time it could proc before with ot without a shield. In which case a buff from 5% to 8% ain't much a of a buff in this case anyway.
Only a noob sorc have shields up the 90% of the time to be honest with you.
