On old uthgard and on live the Valewalker 10 minute damage shield buff and the 30 sec damage shield proc from the level 15 scythe style stacked. Now on uthgard 2.0 the level 15 scythe style 30 sec proc over writes the 10 minute damage shield buff. So after each fight if you want a damage shield buff up you have to recast it.

I am currently seeing this happen on my level 20 valewalker. In the issue tracker I have read that at higher levels even when the 10 minute damage shield is a higher damage shield, the damage shield from the level 15 scythe style will still over write it. However this issue was closed and as far as uthgard devs it seems it is working as intended. Apparently when daoc first came out this bug was in place and was later fixed but I guess uthgard devs think this was an intended feature when valewalkers first came out. A sad nerf for a class that is not played much and is not popular for groups in pve or rvr.

I played Valewakler since it came out and stuck with it until Catacombs, where I stopped DAoC.
I confirm it had that behavior back then.
Not sure if it was intended though, since it eventually (and relatively quickly) changed.
