    Great now they have to add a shield skill line where passives vary between small, medium and tower shields.

    Who would enjoy that?

    I know this doesn't affect everyone but I am personally tired of seeing most of the shields in this game be too small or have impractical shapes, all of the new battleground shields look small in my opinion and the arms pack shields all look like toys

    I understand it's purely cosmetic but I just wish there were bigger shields, most tanks look like they're running around in fancy bucklers and not actual shields, I'm not asking for anything too big either like the Covenant shield, that's just excessive

    Just my opinion but as a tank I want to look like an actual tank and not some guy running around with a toy shield, or a silver tray (silver dawn shield)

    I agree and don't care for the smaller shields either.

    One of the new shields is pretty big though and looks nice. I forget what's called. Horned Dragon maybe. But not sure.

    A shield so big there's a wheel attached to the bottom.
    ...that would be a "mantlet" and as such more a siege engine then a shield...

    I'm only saying that we could use a few more shields that aren't too small considering all the new ones look small
    And I would agree that the best course would be for them to make shields of ALL sizes.
    Heck, I still wish more of the advanced crafting styles had multiple shield sizes like the basic crafting styles, so people could get the shield size they want in the style they want...

    I would have.
    I often wish they would have had their skill lines not per weapon set, but her hand.
    So... when it comes to one-handed stuff, let people have one skill line for "mainhand melee weapon" (with differences for axe/dagger/mace/sword), one for "offhand shield" (with perhaps even different boni depending on small/medium/large shield), and one for "offhand melee weapon", and then some more offhand skill lines like "offhand ranged weapon" or "offhand magic", perhaps even "mainhand magic" or "offhand brawling" (for those duellists who like to use a sword and then punch a face in mid-fight!) and let people mix and match depending on what they hold in their hands...
    Alas.
    Paths not taken.

    dual shield weilding should also be an option!! the faction motif shields are the best, we need more in those sizes.

    I believe they make them small because of "clipping" issues...
