Invisible shield suggestion?

[Alpselon]

Aww that's too bad. With any luck they might change their minds later down the road or something. Oh well!

More recently when it was brought up again on the forums here a dev response re-affirmed the No answer, but they did say they might consider making a very small shield that may give close to that impression.

[Alpselon]

Ah that's right! I forgot we use the shield for something other than blocking! Well the small shield sounds nice too and I look forward to seeing how that looks!

they will not because : you cannot shield lob, shield bash and shield block w/o a shield

Just because it's invisible doesn't mean the object is not there anymore. Predator could do it and his mass was still there, he speared people all the time while invisible. Hollow Man did all kinds of crazy stuff. The Klingon Bird of Prey crushed a trash can and blocked a harpoon while cloaked.

The ironic part is that the original Bird-of-Prey line couldn't be shielded when cloaked. Nor could it even fire it's weapons!
If a PLD can't block or lob, what good is he!?

But we can throw our shield and have it never leave our arm

I imagin it being something like the Tomahawk from the Marauder. We clearly see the Marauder make a huge swing with the axe that creates a projectile, but we never see a Tomahawk flying, it more looks like a glowing orb of energy. I imagin that this energy is within the weilder and requires an item to be manifested and made into an attack. So without a shield to complete the conjuring of this energy you would not be able to use the energy for an attack.
And we all know that it's classic in Anime that people name their attacks, and that attacks usually have a certain look. So I would not be surprised if they named it Shield Lob because it manifests as a glowing shield and you launch it from your shield.
