Block Chance Per Block Chance On Shield Mastery Not Respecting Determined Survivor

Problem:
The shield mastery "+1% chance to block attack damage per 5% chance to block on equipped shield" seems to be ignoring the gladiator ascendancy node "Determiend Survivor". Its only granting block chance based on physical block values on shield and not the base 50% from ascendancy.

How To Replicate:
Replicable in any town or hideout by allocating gladiator ascendancy "Determined Survivor", the previously mentioned shield mastery, and equipping a 25% chance to block shield. If you then switch to a shield with 24% chance to block it will only reduce your block chance by 1% instead of the 2% it would have if the mastery was respecting the 50% base.

My Thoughts:
Based on the wording of the ascendancy and mastery, this may be the intended interaction (and I just misunderstood it) where you get 50% base block ignoring the shields block chance but it isn't actually granting the shield an invisible unmodifiable 50% block chance for other interactions to scale off of. If so, more clarity on how the ascendancy node is granting 50% base block would be appreciated in the wording. :)

Just noticed it aswell. Was very confused why POB was different than ingame. Hopefully we can get a quick reply if this is the intended interaction or indeed a bug.

Wondering if this is intended or just a bug too.

Also curious on this. Would love to hear an update on if intended or not.

Well, it doesn't say "Chance to Block of Equipped Shield is 50%", which would require adjustments. The current wording says you gain 50% chance instead of the shield's value. The mastery and similar mods check the shield's value though. I mean it's not clear of course, but I doubt one can reword it beter to cover such cases and keep it readable and comprehensible.

I have the same problem/question. Looking for resolution/explanation as well.

yeah, after carefully reading the nodes, Determined Survivor basically ignores your shield's block and gives you +50% block instead. the block mastery doesn't care what your current block is, and only looks at the shield's block which was not effected by Determined Survivor.

TL;DR: not a bug, but incorrect understanding of the new glad node.

Gain 50% Chance to Block from Equipped Shield instead of the Shield's Value: This stat overrides the block chance visible on the shield itself, which includes both the base type's default block chance, and any local block modifiers (±#% Chance to Block) to always function as 50%.[2] This 50% value will be used for stats such as Shield Mastery's +1% Chance to Block Attack Damage per 5% Chance to Block on Equipped Shield.

From the poe wiki.

Any information about this? I'm confused it's a bug or not.
