The fact that the stacks get consumed on shield hit is negligible, unless you're so unwise to use this mod with Redirection. Not that i can see why would you use redirection at all, since shield in Warframe is trivial (or armor is too strong? idk).

At low level your shield is going to be enough to protect you anyway, so you don't need this mod, and at high level your shield will be a non factor, which means that feature is uninmportant. Also because of how the Damage reduction formula for armor is in this game, having 2 or 3 stacks makes almost no difference, not NEARLY as important as from 0 to 1 stack.

Take Nerkos Prime, who is going to be the main user of this mod, 65 armor = 18% DR; with 1 stack 515 armor  = 63% DR; 2 stacks 965 = 76% DR; 3 stacks 1415 = 82% DR. On frames with higher armor there is even less difference, so as you can tell having 2 or 3 stacks isn't something you should be bothering at all. On the flipside this shows that this mod is useful even with just a single stack, and you don't necessarily need a Nekros or something similar to make it work (albeit it would allow you to consistently have stacks, which is far from guaranteed normally)
