Item Stats Display bug? Changing after pickup?

[sparkus]

I seem to have a problem with the stats on found items changing from what they were when I identified them or picked them up first.

Playing solo ladder Bnet. Hammerdin. All items are legit drops, no dupes/bots/editors.

Most of the time it is either the blocking percentage on shields or the defense level of armor.

The stats will literally change while I am looking at stash window, as soon as I click on an NPC trade window and sometimes from one look to the other. Once it changes then it stays at that level. I use Cain to ID as I enter town with loot.

I have read about the invisible item glitch, but it doesn't affect the item stats does it? I do have at least one item -requirements% that I am wearing, but i don't wear it for that purpose. I can't figure out what would be changing the stats from when I first look at the item to when I open my stash window a second time or try to sell it.

Thanks for any ideas

Holy shield changes your ingame shield's blocking in the inv screen if that hasn't been adjusted in the latest patches /don't play pallys much

It also increases your total defense level. It's visible in the (Lying) Stat screen, but I'm not sure if the increase shows on the shield itself after casting.

Well, I'm going to assume you know that blocking is modified by holy shield and some armors have a defense per level mod. Dexterity and character level can also affect blocking but it would change your blocking on the LCS not on the shield. If it changes in a matter of seconds, holy shield is more likely than something character stat/level related.

If you are referring to the strength glitch, that doesn't affect the item's stats at all.

I do have at least one item -requirements% that I am wearing, but i don't wear it for that purpose.
I'm confused, what purpose? -%requirement gear only lowers the requirements of that specific gear item. For example, a -15%req jewel only lowers the strength and dex requirements (not even character level) of a sword that it is socketed in, nothing else.

Without further details, I'm going to place my bet on holy shield being the source of confusion.

Well, I've been educated. It does appear to be Holy Shield. I had never looked at my shield when I activate it, only the character defense stat screen.

I also didn't know that it affected all shields in my stash and not just the one I'm wearing. What I was seeing was apparently just as my last Holy Shield was wearing off and the item would change while looking at it.

I'll have to start checking if Holy Shield is still active from now on.

Thanks all for the knowledge
