Passive Steel Bastion is not working

The Steel Bastion passive provides a 40% increase to Elemental Damage and a 20% increase to Defences from the equipped shield.

However, when I allocate this passive, my skill damage decreases. But when I use Shift to compare, the skill damage scales up.

Additionally, the passive does not seem to apply the increased Elemental Damage or the increased Defences from the shield correctly

The recorded video doesn't do a good job of showing this.

The only before/after in the video is slotting and unslotting the Heroic Tragedy jewel. When you unslot the jewel with your skill panel open, we can see that your Dex appears to increase because your Dex support gem limit increases from 67 to 70. Since this is a stat stacking build, those extra stats being lost are probably not insignificant.



This does seem like a bug, and it looks like it may be due to Heroic Tragedy's jewel radius overlapping with the ring of Controlled Metamorphosis, knocking out the effect of two +Dex attribute nodes? But it doesn't look like an issue with Steel Bastion itself.

"% increased Defences from Equipped Shield" is not a separate multiplier to the defences gained from your shield. It is additive with other "% increased" modifiers that would apply to the same stat.

If your shield grants 100 ES, you have 100% increased ES from your passive tree, and you then allocate Steel Bastion for "20% increased Defences from Equipped Shield"--the shield's contribution towards your total ES would go from 200 up to 220.

I have already tested it, and it seems that the damage from Steel Bastion is not being applied, likely due to the overlap of the rings
Thank you
