Unless there's another model, it'll be quite confusing...

Since not many people use this, to make it usable on horseback, Hp has to be reduced to 400-420. That'll make it a low armor variant with stats between a kite shield + norman shield with good speed.

I've barely seen a Triangle Shield on NA, and it seems like the Byzantium folks on EU would mostly prefer this be a cavalry shield, so your proposed change would probably be well-received.

How difficult would it be to add a new shield with the current Triangle Shield's stats/model but Heraldic? Call it Heraldic Triangle Shield or something. There is a dearth of fast 2-slot shields, so most dedicated shielders still use the fast 1-slot shields even though they have spare slots.

EDIT: Similarly, what about adding 2-slot versions of the ECS and Knightly shields that use the same models as their 1-slot versions but with roughly the same stat modifications as Heater->Heavy Heater? i.e. +1kg, -3 speed, +5 armor, +25% HP? I equip a Heavy Crossbow sometimes because I figure "why not, I have the slots", but better 2-slot shields might entice me to forego the crossbow. 1h+shield+xbow seems to be the whine of the month, but most of us only do it because we don't have anything better to use our slots on.

No, shield is OP as it is, doesnt need anything, 2slot shields are slow for a reason, this breaks as it is.
I don't know enough
