When I first saw this I thought you meant that Shields would be both Strength and Agility Based, as the title implies; so a 6 skill shield would require a build of at least 18/18. Now it seems like you meant either Strength or Agility. Misleading. I could get behind Tydeus's idea.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

Perfect idea: make shield skill require both strength and agility. No more 13 Shield trolling.
Absolutely horrible idea.

Voted strength. Because you should have some strength to carry around shield like huscarl. Still you will need agility to increase shield skill. I want to see resistance of huscarl with 0 or 1 shield skill.
But making shield skill based also on strength is plane stupidity.

i dont see any problems with shielding as it is.

21-15 18-18 15-21 are all very good builds for a shielder i dont see a need to change shields in any way

1. An increase of shielders will decrease the number of ranged, which is the purpose behind my suggestion.

2. Why restrict high skill shielder builds to agility?

- 9/30 3PS, 10 AT/WM <- Why restrict high shield skill players to agility?
- 30/9 10 PS/SH, 3 AT <- Why not allow this? What is "OP" about it?

Like someone else said, smaller shields should maybe depend upon agility while bigger and heavier shields would be strength based.

what is op about someone with 10ps and 10 shield skill? are you fucking kidding me?

there wont be an increase of shielders because people love going 2h hero. 2-3 shield skill isnt much to sacrifice and they dont because they dont want to. making it str based wont make any more 2h pick up a shield. most 2h have plenty of agi

Hmmm, 10 PS  10 shield... Now i think of it bad idea, will be OP i think.

EDIT:
You guys realize that 10 shieldskill will make the shield nearly unbreakable, aka buffing shielders. Also, they won't be forced to a agi/ balanced build anymore, so we gonna have even more pure str players.

Btw, i see multiple ppl posting here about shielders not getting OP with this, but they are not shielders themself. Master a class before you tell other how they are balanced or not.
