Skill Point Rewards from completing Quests don't apply to shield :(

I never saw this and posted something similar on the Gladiator forum.

I see no need. Sentinel points can be gained while playing 3 different classes (Gladiator, Conjurer & Thaumaturge). If you do more than one of them, Sentinel will be the first "class" you get to R50 anyway.

Not everyone desires playing through CON & THM just to get shield skill up. Besides, if there are no leve/quest SP rewards for shield, then it makes no difference what class you play. Pre 1.18 had SP point bonuses galore, and shield skill was apart of it. No reason it shouldn't be the same for SP rewards post 1.18.

Only getting sword skill is going to skew the shield skill at later levels.

Please fix!

Not everyone desires playing CON and THM, but the option is there. The babby days are over.

Also, you're incorrect in stating that pre 1.18 there were bonuses galore for shield. Sentinel SP shared the same SP you got from your class, unless SEN was in fatigue, then it got SP minus the fatigue percentage. Also there was no SP gained after leve/quest completion prior to 1.18.

The game has always had 3 classes able to rank Sentinel, it's your choice whether you take that opportunity or not.

With all due respect, you missed my point entirely. You have Sentinel and Gladiator R50 already, so probably all pre 1.18, but that's besides the point...

However, perhaps what I said wasn't said with utmost clarity. When I said bonus galore, I meant that yes, sword and shield were skilled up with the same SP, but the rates of gaining said SP were also much higher as opposed to how it is now. Furthermore, if there are SP rewards from Main Hand (i.e - I get 1, 750 sword skill and no sentinel skill) and I switch my class to CON or THM, guess what? I'll get 1, 750 Conjury/Thaumaturgy points, but still no Sentinel skill points.

So please tell me how that works. Yes, I am aware there was no SP rewards gained prior to 1.18, but you are regurgitating irrelevant facts. So what if no SP was gained prior to 1.18, things have changed now. If rewards are the way to obtain some good SP now, then there's no reason that offhand SP shouldn't be gained as a reward either.

Finally, I want to level GLA, and even if I wanted to level CON or THM, I'm still not getting the SP rewards for it regardless. So, offhand (in this case, Sentinel) will be horribly skewed no matter what I rank up.
