Emperor's new shield

Shield lob would look weird alright. Here i was thinking some of the shields, cough Ancile, could use a boost in size.

Don't touch my shield. I love the anima specifically because the blade and shield are not big.

Nothing wrong with the sword but Ancile could use a little size buff on Roegadyns. I don't know how it scales on other races but it really does look small on my character. I do like my shields large a'la Bulwark of azzinoth.

Agreed. This is what the size of a scutum is supposed to be:

The shield is one of the weapons the Paladin, and some weapon skills of PLD are actually for the shield. It seems natural for PGL/MNK since their abilities depend on the fist rather than a weapon/blade (but at the same time it didn't really look good with how the hands look like they're holding an invisible knuckle) but still it's kinda weird if PLD got one for their shield.

Everyone keep on asking for this, SE keep on telling everyone to take a hike.

This would look downright stupid, I hope they never implement such a thing.

You even have an ability called Shield Lob...I don't want to see paladins throwing air lol

Actually how it can work is since the Paladin uses magic, he can make his shield disappear, only to reappear when he needs it and disappear again when not in use. For example, he's fighting and when he needs to block, the shield appears, blocks then disappear, he can continue to hack & slash. When he needs to Sheild Lob, it'll appear on his hand and toss it to the mob, then disappear like the Hadouken or Tiger Shot from Street Fighter. Also, when he needs to stun, then shield appears, he bitch-slaps the mob across the face demanding satisfaction, then the shield disappears. To me that would work.

Not a good excuse considering that we have a flying tortoise due to player demand.

Emperor's new___ is ultimately an illusion of an item placed on top of gear you're using.

The same could be said about PGL/MNK's weapon and we finally got the emperor's new fists.

So what's stopping them from creating a invisible or transparent shield?
