Ac got revamped a few times, and obviously this is a fake server, so the system could be anything.

Under one (some?) system ac from shields was included in the worn ac from other items (subject to cap) and then added a second time (without cap).


I believe the classic system didn't do anything special with shield AC; using a shield was just a way to get your AC closer to the worn cap and to unlock the bash ability.
