Maelstrom shield

Just wondering by why doesn't the shield have a unique one piece bonus (aside from the enchant which is the tri enchant) like other maelstrom weapons?
I mean I understand one hand and shield is a thing but why not give the shield it's own unique thing like when receiving damage have a chance to absorb said damage type and restore a portion of resources based on the damage done.
So example would be if I'm tanking "The Warrior" and he's using his bash phase I will have a chance to restore 5% or 10% of the initial damage done when it procs.
Maybe the shield can give ultimate when receiving damage while it is on your active bar.
So example I would receive like 10 ultimate when it procs.
Anyone else have any ideas for it, I just feel the shield is one of the worst drops you can get from maelstrom as it gives you a set 5 pc that doesn't in any shape or form worth using.

✭Because it always drops with a one handed weapon for a 1 Handed and shield tank drop. Essentially your drop is the tanking package"If a stick of fish is a fish stick, it will stick like other fish sticks stick"

✭✭really the shield should have the tanking bonus, and the swords and mace have a different bonus. Or, a different bonus for each weapon type. I mean seriously, who the hell uses a Maelstrom Ice Staff for DPS?1 -

No idea. I had a somewhat green guild member the other day trying to DPS with an ice staff and making life aggravating for our tank. So, someone out there still thinks it's a good weapon choice.0 -

✭✭Since the sword and mace give a bonus to tanking, the shield should give a boost to sword and shield dps. It could effect the power bash ability. I've always wanted to see an actually viable shield dps build...0 -
Tremors✭✭✭I strongly believe it should be a 2 piece bonus for tanking but yeah it's not happeningPassionfruit GM - PC NA

✭✭@LMar Yeah but the sword has it's own affect and the shield has a random 5 set that it is apart of. I'd love for it to have its own stand-a-lone boost to X.不動の Steadfast - Unwavering

BUt then it'll be a double buff. No other weapon would have a similar buff"If a stick of fish is a fish stick, it will stick like other fish sticks stick"

You can combine maelstrom sword with a maelstrom dagger; I mean it won't be optimal but that is technically a double buff in this situation.Edited by MaxwellC on June 9, 2017 1:06AM不動の Steadfast - Unwavering
