Has anyone tested this yet?
Not sure. I just got the adrenaline rough rider leg shield from the moxxi drop. Not sure how to use it with amara
I donāt know if it does, but on my Zane I have it maxed out in order to get the more important skills in the tree like Rise To The Occasion, Stiff Upper Lip, Really Expensive Jacket, and Futility Belt. Unfortunately those first three skills in the Under Cover tree are pretty terrible with the Rough Rider, but Adrenaline has the better chance of at least doing something even if itās not very noticeable.

It does not - tested just now.
In BL2 - the Rough Rider was a 100 capacity shield that was permanently broken. So for all intents and purposes itās at 0%. I suspect this works the same way in BL3.
However, the legendary class mod that relies on a shield to be broken to give increased damage and move speed is permanently active - because the shield is broken.

Thanks for testing it. Now I donāt to look for a class mod to waste extra points on that skill.

When I am using the Rough Rider together with the skill Calm, Cool, Collected, when my health is full and I freeze an enemy my ultimates do reset. So that would suggest the shield is counted as full. Although I cannot see any noticeable effect on Adrenaline.
None of the first three skills in that tree work with the Rough Rider, unfortunately.
I am 90% sure the game treats the rough rider as you not having any shield on. Thatās why CCC works, but the rest wonāt. (edit: the rest of the skills that require a full shield)

So oddly enough Iām thinking it counts for both full and emptyā¦ at the same time.
Using rough rider with Adrenaline and and Topped Off (Guardian rank) and both requiring full shield, my cooldown is 3 seconds on barrier.
Rise to the Occassion seems to have full effect, while requiring low shield, however the Legendary Infiltrator class mod seems to have no effect.
Someone said Adrenaline is bugged or something. And with a cooldown of 3 seconds down from 24 you would need around 800% cooldown rate increases. Keep in mind that this game does not has cooldown reduction it has cooldown rate increase.
In an early build of the game in one of bahroos Youtube videos, the rough rider did not even show the shield bar hence I think they made it so, that the game just thinks its not there when itās empty. You could try to find a +shield artifact and then see what happens if the rough rider is actually full.
Infiltrator needs a shield to crack, so if the game handles you like you donāt have a shield it should not work. But, again we could try to enhance the rough riders capacity and finding out what happens then.
Rough Rider is still 0 with increased capacity. Had a relic that increased shield by 1.7k anyways I know the majority of the cooldown rate was coming from Topped Off, even though itās not a in the skill tree it still shows that Rought Rider counts as a full shield, all the time, as well as empty all the time.
Also the shield displays for me as 0.
Take the shield off and look if thereās a difference. Iām curious.
Iām really curious how your Cooldown on barrier is 3 seconds? Iām at 12% action skill Cooldown from guardian ranks, topped off, 31% action Cooldown from class mod, and adrenaline using rough rider and no where close to 3 seconds. But as soon as I change my shield I have like a 6-5sec Cooldown without the All-rounder augment. From what I can tell rough rider only works for skills that say āThe lower his shield is, the higher the bonus.ā So nerves of steel and adrenaline donāt work with rough rider.
Iām at full time with my no shield equipped.
Also no longer at 3 seconds with any shields equipped, up to 7 seconds with Nova Berner and Rough rider is back to full time.
Guess the new question is what was dropping my cooldown by so much.
Also turns out you can fill a rough rider by picking up boosters ehile having a +max shield effect.
Or switching from an already full shield.
Then breaking it with Legendary Infiltrator will give you the speed boost.
Permanent? That would be a big one, wouldnāt it? So you keep a relic with shield, break it and then switch to another relic? If that would work, that should be quite a dps increase.
it is not first tier it is second
