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 ^^

Don't start complaining mate otherwise they might alter them ^^

[Rebelyell]

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!

[Kafein]

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.

[Elmokki]

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

[Tears of Destiny]

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.
