    Shield Size Scaling Between Races

    So I play a Roegadyn Paladin and I have noticed that most shields seem to be really small compared to our immense size. Wondering if anyone has heard about this being addressed or not. The following image really shows how certain shields look like a toy on Roegadyns compared to other races.

    Yeah the shields do scale poorly with us big guys. The axes however do look epic on us compared to other races. But when I saw that there was tower shields or (large shields) i was kind of hoping for something like this.

    We block and parry using our rippling pecs. This ability comes more naturally to Warriors. The only reason shields are used in the first place is to give our enemies the illusion of a fighting chance.
