In this game, I'm perfectly capable of taking off my shield and going through a normal rotation without any wonky animations or strange looking movements. Things like casting Bulwark or Sheltron still look fine, and IMO pretty great without a shield on that other arm.

Furthermore, the animations for Shield Swipe and Shield Bash would look amazing without a shield. It would look as if I'm power back-handing enemies right in the mouth; and then they're stunned. How is that not amazing?

Please SE, give PLDs everywhere an Emperor's New Shield off-hand gear.

Sidenote: It would also fix a TON of clipping issues I get with some outfits; which harshly enrages my OCD.
