Not really?

Arrow damage was increased, shield coverage was decreased. So, shooting around the shield is actually possible. Dosen't offset the cut dmg bows do now, nor the slower animation

As an archer I wouldn't mind if shields would protect while on back. Like on native something like 25%. So it wouldn't be the primary reason to have one on your back. Also would be nice if it would protect the same against melee.
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

I think this is a good enough reason to not do this.
I agree as an archer/crossbowman it would be fairly annoying just to see some with a sheild just running and not able to hit him cuz hes sheathed the sheild, Also its just like saying i want to attack some one whilst having my long Awlpike sheathed

@Devilize i do play only with one shield, but i wouldn't take away the freedom to choose which playing style a player wants. Keep in mind, carrying an extra shield makes you damn slow, they cant just run away, they are more like walking walls behind that an archer could hide.
If you take away this, i would also consider to only allow one type of weapon to carry, either your an archer or your not, youre a pollguy or a 2h swinger or you throw stuff, but no hybrids, that would be the logical conclusion to me, out of your suggestion. If restricting an allready not very strong playstile in context of k/d ratio, then restrict others even strong too. Would you like that?
