Granted, it'd be kinda silly since we have skills like shield lob/shield bash, which then logically require a shield.... so a transparent shield would kind of screw up the lore.
    New skill: Pimp Hand. Use all shield actions without a shield. Clearly some animations will have to change, but you can Pimp Slap a fool up close. Or Projectile Pimp Slap from across the room!

    I jest. More likely you could make an argument for fencing weapons and skills to eschew the shield.

    During 1.0, Gladiators threw knifes.
    And now Rogues got all the knifes

    If Gladiators get throwing knifes back, then Pugilist should also get throwing Chakrams back ^^
