You know, I didn't wast my time reading everything here but I'm sure there's controversy by any means. SE, you still MAKING A BIG %$$#! mistake.

Shield skill shouldn't be bound to any class and everyone plays their class differently no matter what individuals think. HELL, if a mage feel like he should carry a shield so be it. I might want to be a mage some day, at-least I have my shield skilled up, you don't have the right to patronize me. THE END.
