    btw, if you want your shield to block more damage simply get a shield with more "block" on it... I know, rocket science right?

    Ummm you do know, the highest block shields reduction don't come close to even a partial parry on anything significant. It's sad I can block 100 Tonze Swing with a Vintage Kite Shield on PLD and always take over 1k+ damage, but I can parry almost as often on WAR for often under 200 damage. Where exactly does the superior mitigation come in when the difference negated from their primary blocking abilities are so drastic?

    This ^ x100 and why does pld shield have no DEF on it... I was also thinking they could make gla/pld only shield have a dmg reduction trait on them like kite shield would have a -20% dmg take instead of adding a trait, Or they could change the pld trait that enhancing sent so that it stay on till the pld toggles it off but they could make you suffer something else for using it.
