[2020] weird interaction between future perfect stacks and shield tier

This is extremely disruptive and removes one of the most interesting uses of future perfect (using it in a DPS build to get more survivability out of a boosted shield).

current behavior:

- I get a kill with future perfect
- Shield HP bar changes with room for more HP to regen
- The HP gets stuck at the old cap and regen only happens if I holster the shield.

expected behavior:

- I get a kill with future perfect
- Shield HP bar changes with room for more HP to regen
- Shield keeps on regenerating past the old cap and all the way to max without putting the shield away.
