Wouldn't shield strength just give effective shields? Which, by definition, would just be the Redirection mod?

Besides, no shield strength mods would be released because the Shield is supposed to be the primary defense and warning, letting you know that you're taking damage and you should move out of the way.

Before, enemies with shields were able to reduce damage toward them as if it were armor. Damage mitigation to shields would render weapons less useful against a Tenno and make battle too easy.
