If you don't want your "freaking" shield skills, you don't have to use them. Those that do should still be able to.

It's been revealed that some of the existing shield commands are not only on Gladiator now, but are also exclusive. Great.

Shield bash is not exclusive, but Aegis Boon, basically the most useful shield skill (even though it was nerfed to hell in the last couple patches), is. THese were the only two actions I have ever set. Most of the others are not very applicable. So now, there's only really one useful shield skill that's not exclusive, and only two total.

This really didn't need to be changed at all, much less changed in the way it was. These classes using shields was never "broken" or "overpowered" and their use, which is almost exlcusively in solo situations, did not harm or negatively impact anyone's gameplay experience. Why mess with something that isn't broken?

Every class that can use a shield will get its own class-specific shield skills.

This turned out not to be the case
