We have a shield with less slots, can be used on horseback and is pretty much just better all round. Not to mention the triangle shield ^^

Shield size?

The Hand Pavise is really good, but also really small, so unless you got high shieldskill, it's better to take something else.

It's a trap! That shield is strong enough on it's own, so it's good for high str shielders. This way the force field will be smaller and the rage of the shielders greater!

Shield width is one of the most important attributes for non-round shield, and those won't ever compare with a round shield anyway.

They finally don't buff 2h and everyones running around saying this and that is OP. Nothing should be nerfed before the longsword, end of story.

Don't nerf hand pavise. It's awesome with high shield skill.

The smaller coverage is a huge factor, the only shield I am worried about is the striped one, the ERE shield, as it has 97 speed which is.... Very competitive for such a durable shield (Almost as fast as manual blocking). It is nice though that for 5 shield skill you now have a choice between the Striped which is optimal for melee, or the Huscarl which is large enough to even shield teammates.
