    Can't say I've ever thought about wanting to go back to shields. Honestly to that and any other wildly different weapon types for an existing job - Wouldn't they be better reserved for future ones with matching aesthetics?

    If you really want to, you can bring that old combo into Bozja.

    Best idea I ever heard, shield + (wand/rod) get combined into one item in the glam dresser and applied on top of the 2 handed weapon.

    There is code to handle the shield combo for all modern spells, and without removing the old items they will have to continue to support them, so no lost time THERE, just in the special coding that would be required to make the game think it's in 1 hand mode to force the animations to match, and some special code in the glam dresser/plates to handle it.

    Course, I recognize this as being at least 3 ugly kludges.
    Alternitive would be to remove 1 handed mode from the two classes completely... but then they'd have to pay back everybody who ever bought the 1 handed glam for those classes....

    I'd love for shields to come back for THM/CNJ.
