Solution: Oddly enough unequipping and re-equipping the PCs gloves solved the issue.
Hello, while leveling my dwarf EKD I realized that the additional DR every 2 levels doesn’t increase at level 8 (DR 4 at level 8 seems to be working as of the last reset). As well, the Class Power at level 10 doesn’t apply the +3DR. At level 10 the EKD has 4 DR instead of 5 or 8 if the +3DR is suppose to be applied as per the wiki (this is the case as per the game DR icon and the log on the PGCC.) If it isn’t suppose to get the class power until 11, then the wiki needs updating, but I doubt that’s the case, as the EKD still gets its defensive stance speed increase at 10 from the class power as per the wiki.
