Shield skill ups broken after July update?

Has anyone been able to acquire shield skill ups after the July update? I'm in Abyssea - Misareaux Coast, pulled a bunch of apkallus to level my shield/parry skill. In 10 minutes I've gained 15 points of parry but 0 shield. My shield and parry are about the same level, 150ish.

I suggest that the shield skill function just like guard/parry does now. Maybe even evasion skill, too (was always easy to level anyway).

I got shield skill up yesterday I believe, but only Guard and Parry was upped to the new way, Shield still functions as before.

Nothing changed with shield skill ups. Its the order that skills are checked that is making that difference.

Evasion -> Parry/Guard -> Shield

If you proc a Parry / Guard skillup then you shouldn't proc a shield skillup. Don't think two skillups can proc from the same action.

If I read it correctly, you can get multiple skillups if the skillups trigger on a failed attempt, which they do for evasion, parry and guard. So it should be possible to get an evasion, parry/guard and shield skillup at the same time. Should be easy to check on a unleveled mule, so I'll report back later with the results.

Edit: confirmed it. I got evasion, parry AND shield skillups on one and the same attack.

i capped parry and shield on my pld with the aby-misareaux mandies the day of the update. parry was lower than shield when i started, but parry capped first. i was very much so able to skillup shield though. it works just like it did before.
