New items idea: Focus' and Buckler Shields

Resyp

So with the changes made to Frost Staves and the upcoming Warden class, staff tanking is looming. But I foresee an issue.

Sword and Board tanking will stand above Frost Staff tanking for one reason. S/B gets one extra slot for a set item. This has been a personal issue of mine since beta really. DW and S/B get a set benefit that magicka staff users and two handed stam users do not.

My solution would be simple. Add new items that are only able to be equipped with Staffs or Two handed weapons.

For Magicka: A simple focus. An item created or found that gives a small about of magicka regen. Nothing special. I would enjoy seeing this on our characters though, being that we already hande our staff with one hand(ayyoo).

For Two Handed Stamina: A Buckler Shield. A small that sits on the side of your arm. It offers a small armor value and stamina regen. A big nord barbarian with a heavy two handed axe is the stuff from legends, give him a tiny shield wouldn't change much and would still look cool imo.

Discuss.
Would you be interested in these being added? Why or why not.

Do you have a different idea?

Do you prefer to leave items how they are?


I want to know your thoughts, and as I have yet to master mind reading I need you all to post here.

Love it. At least one focus motif Should make it look like a spellbook.

Buckler could also have variants that look like spiked or bladed gauntlets.

Thanks! A guildmate came up with the buckler idea, I was pulling a brain fart on it. And yes, with all the different motifs available any kind of buckler or focua could really be made. A glowing crystal ball? A small blockade for archers? Many options, plus the key point, everyone gets the same amount of set items.
