DEV REQUEST (again): The Emperor's New Shield

[Fuma]

How would you feel if Sword Oath switched your character to a double-hand stance with their shield on their back?

That's the solution right there, otherwise how you gonna shield bash with no shield, lol.

That is main issue there...Unlike monk, paladin animation and abilities rely heavily on their shields. A whole new list of animation would have to be input in the game for that single glamour. I believe that the Reddit forum OP submitted to us is saying that there is a Emperor's New Shield, will only be displaying a sword during non combat situations or use of abilities. I cannot see any other form it would take besides that without heavily investing in new animations or skills.

Well, I mean if you look at the shield bash animation and imagine it without a shield, sure looks like you're stunning the monsters with a firm pimp hand to me.

Plus if the thing Shippu pointed out on Page 1 is correct, it would make sense to introduce the Emperor's new shield with the Garo event. Having Garo be tied to PLD is a bit odd since well...he's never had a shield. So giving that option makes sense for the Garo Collab.
