Sturdy Shield Incorrect Description

[Garrulous]

• What is your character name in New World: Gar Rulous
• What server/world did you experience your issue on: Valhalla
• Describe the issue you are experiencing: Sturdy Shield (top row of Defender tree for Sword and Shield, on left) states that the perk increases physical armor by 15%. However, after testing, it appears to only increase the physical armor of the equipped shield by 15%. Furthermore, the sword and shield are sheathed when opening up the character sheet which appears to prevent the armor added by shield from being displayed. This was determined because there is no difference in phys rating with or without Sturdy Shield chosen.
• Is this a bug? Yes.
• (if a bug) How did the issue affect your gameplay: The description is very misleading, and the inability to see shield armor on character sheet is a second bug.
• (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No, I will never recover.
• (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: The description can be viewed on any character so skipping the screenshot.
• What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Explained above.
• When did this happen? (Date and Relative time; please include your timezone) 12 Jan 2023, 1500 EST.
