Can we get any statement of someone in charge?
Thats a serious Problem with all “new” Tower Shields.

Agreed! They have kite shield stats. I also started a thread too around the same time. Lazarus Shield drops and lower block stability across the board any visibility on this would be nice as new shield drops will never be worth using because of this.

ALL of the new mutation shields have kite shield weight and stats. Its definitely copy and paste level work.
