I'm just helping in making a stand to irrelevant change to the shield skill. There's probably more issues to address but I'm starting here.

You got a problem with that? Too bad, at least I'm making a stand to the majority. Having a option to many is not going to hurt the few. Taking away choices will hurt us all leading to more ridiculous alterations to the game.

If SE wants to turn this into another FFXI clone, why waist my time and money being here??

If you think mages with a single handed weapon cant wear armor and hold a shield with high enough shield skill, the pessimist is you my friend, very bias and closed minded. You don't make any sense!
