  Does this stack with other stamina boost items like cloranthy ring or mask of the child?

  When I equip the Grass Crest Shield in Dark Souls Remastered while having a Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring on the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring's effects get overwritten. What's the deal with this? If it matters I also have a Blue Tearstone Ring on, but nothing with any other notable effects.
  
  The only things I can think are that effects don't stack unless otherwise stated, only two effects can be applied at once, or that this is a bug.

  The grass crest shield is absolutely top tier. It's easy to get, it's light, has balance stats across the board and it gives you stamina regen boost. Even though it doesn't have a 100% physical reduction like all other medal shields, it's physical reduction is still usable. Best shield for multiple builds and play throughs.

  There is no way to get this shield to 100% damage reduction.
  The table says that the lightning upgrades make it 100 phys reduction, but it's wrong. It's always 95.

  Once you equip this there's no going back, you can't really get apart with it because how quick your regeneration rate gets.

  Do the upgrades on the GCS (regular bonus, magic, lightning etc) still apply if you don’t parry much? I have a sorcerer and mostly use it for the stamina Regen and blocking. Thx

  Do shields affect your invasion stats? DSR rules (from what I've read) says certain weapons can effect invasions and summons.

  If this is equipped in your loadout but not actually selected (i.e. in your other left-hand slot, but you're presently using a different shield) does the stamina regen still apply?
