So, RDM was given Beatific Shield, will assuredly be on Beatific Shield +1, has Shield Mastery II as a trait, and retained Shield Skill on our Reforged Artifact Feet Armor. Yet, through all of this, we have retained a terrible F rating in shield, putting it so low that even on level 99 monsters with Beatific Shield our block rate is flat out horrible. Can we please, please have our Shield Skill raised to at very least a C+, if not a B to match our Sword and Dagger skills?

I fear without a higher skill our ability to use a shield is so poor that we literally may as well not even bother to use one at this point, we are dependent on Dual Wield, yet lack the trait, just as we are seemingly meant to use shields and yet have no real skill to use it. At this point, most PLDs have Aegis and Ochain, by giving us this skill increase we are by no means going to become more useful than a PLD, only more capable in lower end content, where right now we can hardly make use of it as we are more than 150 skill behind PLD, and more than 100 behind WAR!

Please improve this skill, raise it to a C+ or B rating so we can at least make use of these great shields on at least basic content!
