I would just like to point out that in true form with the current dev. team seemingly overlooking paladin completely that;
There is no shield readily available to testers.
all decent gear is from the GM moogle etc. also as you can figure there is no AH, so any shield you want must be bought from a vendor(?) or crafted.
I was really looking forward to testing out my tarutaru PLD, but I guess they aren't really looking for too much feedback on the shield.
