Will the ring still apply if using a heavy shield like shieldof absorption? Not sure if they'd still classify it as wearing armor specifically.
Yeah, the Rogue's Ring Special Effect (
Special Effect: While not wearing Heavy armor, you gain 25% less Threat.), should still apply with any Heavy Shield like the Shield of Absorption.
As this is what's mentioned on the Wiki page for the Rogue's Ring: https://wiki.smutosaur.us/CoC2/index.php?title=Rogue%27s_Ring&oldid=38625 -> Changelog -> Expand -> 0.6.29 "Rogue’s Ring now checks
only that your armor slot isn’t heavy, rather than for any heavy equipment".
