Zen, can we please get a buckler shield for those that prefer to have a character mainly one-handed?

I really prefer to have an option that makes the shield invisible, seeing as we do virtually exist in a magicka-based world, where anything is possible, but I'll settle for bucklers. Why not the semi-transparent buckler shield? It won't hurt anything mechanics-wise, seeing as we get a visual effect shield that indicates when we're blocking, anyway.

So yeah, I would like to see some diversity from the traditional mammoth shields that we've been getting lately.

Can we also get a magicka shield that doesn't have to go over the entire character, but just their arm? We kind of get this with riposte, so the effect is there partially. Put it in the Undaunted skill line if you can, this way players not wanting to use an actual shield can pick the magicka arm shield as an option, and it will gain them access to all the same skills in the one-handed shield skill line.

    Nord and Minotaur shields are what you'll want.

    Why not just drop the shield and nerf your self. ZOS isn't going to do this.

    I think you might have gone someplace that has nothing to do with the question or post. I wasn't asking to be made weaker. I want to use the one-handed skill line without the necessity of a shield, since there are other options. And don't tell me what Zen won't do unless you know for a fact because you work for them. Now if you don't want it to happen ... fine, that's your opinion, but as far as what will and will not be done, you don't know a damn thing.

    If you craft a shield in the first tier, some styles are extremely small and are the size of buckles but as mats get better, the defense goes up which coincides with size to protect players from dmg.

    If you're not using it to tank, had you considered a lesser version?

    I like the Nord round shield, because it's small.
