Let me get this straight, that shield is only good because blocking is "broken", right?

What about the total damage taken vs blocked at the end of a fight? Won't it be the same? Just like DPS can be equal with high damage/slow swing weapons vs low damage/rapid swing weapons. It would be the same with shields? Explain how it's not possible with shields because it is "broken". Just take a look at my classes and you'll notice I do am a newb at gladiator, teach me. If you truly are right, you'll be seen as the master gladiator from your peers and no one will oppose.
