1 Shield skill - worth it with any +3 shield?

[Jarold]

Get it. Just by holding up a small shield infront of you the silly ranged players will pretty much ignore you with their shots. Even if they try to shoot you it will most likely hit the shield unless they know you have 1 shield skill and aim for your head/legs.

I think Jarold is absolutely right, archers will choose to shoot targets without a shield. Just don't use a practice shield, that just enrages my old friendchers.

It's useless in melee, so you can rarely use it and it blocks a lot of your field of view when on your back.

It may block a tiny bit of your view, but it makes you look badass.
