I'm in Beta 1.1 right now and just got my fav armor Miscrent Leathers, but it seems to have been nerfed from -15% recovery to -10%. (it used to be a base of 20% - 15% resulting in 5% recovery only, now it is supposed to be 20-10 for 10% recover)

However it seems to be bugged that the newly nerfed 10% reduction doesn't even apply to the base of 20%. So basically the armor is kinda crappy :/

 

Are you looking at the item description or your actual recovery with it on?

You should post this in the technical support forum. If it's bugged indeed devs will look into it.

Look at your weapon's recovery (during combat - else you will have a 85% speed mod from stealth) - what does it say?

I just did that - and even in pre 1.1 it was not the case that the armor has a lower recovery penalty but it gives you a recovery speed buff instead! SO the penalty doesn't change but your recovery gets a boost of 15% (10% with patch 1.1).

 

So it's totally normal that you can't see it on the armor's recovery stat. Not pre 1.1 nor after.

I would wait with that until you are sure that it's bugged (which doesn't seem to be the case).
