    The reason this was nerfed was/is because of Shield Mastery Prior to the addition of Shield Mastery having a shield that blocked 80-90% for little damage reduction meant nothing as that's the trait that prevents interruption during casting which makes this shield broken.

    True, it blocked a lot but the downside was supposed to be the fact that it would only negate a mere few % of damage, so even blocking you were more or less being hit with the full force of the attack.

    Seems odd that they would nerf it now of all times, and not back when PLD/NIN was king and all your shield was used for was smacking the mob in the face/blocking for Ichi. Oh well, was a very nice shield in capable hands for a little while at least.

    It was nerfed a long time ago I don't remember exactly when but I'd bet around the time Shield Mastery was introduced years ago.

    Don't care if this thing's been nerfed or not, just kinda biffed that this isn't THF-able. Been stuck using light buckler (Shield skill +5) forever. Kinda <Tough> to skill up shield on THF.

    If SE would allow Sipar to be used by THF that'd be awesome!

    Just a level 75 COR still trying to cap his skills before venturing into level 76. All that's left is parrying.
    SE please give me a Parry Roll or Parry Bonus Job Trait.
    SE Thank you for the COR update that changes Gallant's Roll. You have indirectly answered my prayers for assistance in Parrying Skillups!! THANK YOU SE. -_-

    But the nerfed block rate would/should put it on the same level as light buckler before accounting for the +5 skill on it... so when accounting for the skill it would have a slightly lower block rate.

    No other job to do it on and no desire to level up another job at the moment?
