The Shield System

[Zkieve]

How do you figure? You sacrifice Def and Blocking for 2 points in Wield Rate. Which doesn't even go up with HQ shields.

First , defence does almost nothing currently in game , your rank vs the enemy rank is the biggest damage modifier.
Second , with 90 block you will block almost over 95% of the atacks i am yet to see 1 atack unblocked with the vintage shield.
2 wield rate more is better than any of the above the succum gives. 2 more wield rate saves you a lot of stamina , that is way more important than 1 atack unblocked out of lots of blocks or 3 more defence.
