This ^ x100 and why does pld shield have no DEF on it... I was also thinking they could make gla/pld only shield have a dmg reduction trait on them like kite shield would have a -20% dmg take instead of adding a trait, Or they could change the pld trait that enhancing sent so that it stay on till the pld toggles it off but they could make you suffer something else for using it.
