As being one of few people that used Ebonwood pike on a juggernaut, knowing it was a bug.
The pike on a Jugg was actually a really good way to make him versitile together with an onehanded or onehanded/twohanded
as there is no other option then blunt weapons, cause they are the best option dmg and knockdown/staggering wise.
i really feel it is stupid to use 2 blunt weapons for a jugg, basically adding nothing for his 2nd weapon slot.
I really feel juggernaut can make good use of it as ranged has a way way easyer time in general with killing and being save, melee deserves to have this safety feature
im not asking for jorgumundr pike to be useable by juggernaut, but atleast the ebonwood pike would make me and probably some others in CN really happy for it to be back
I really hope for a positive answer on this matter from the devs.

In my opinion, all the infantry heroes should be able to use the orange legendary polearms, such as sun glaive, dragon spear/halberd or thunder pike, because they have actual polearm skills, unlike archer and crossbowman classes.
Infantry heroes should also be able to use Noble Bastion too, which is the best in slot crossbowman shield for a class that has 6 shield skill (aventurier).
To another extent, some commando two handed weapons such as VGS, scorn or durendal could be made usable by sentry, and some commando 1h weapons like mortifer (maybe not byrllysg or DWP) usable by sentinel and aventurier.
These items wouldn't become the best in slot items for any class, and I believe making these changes happen would add diversity to the mod, which some players would surely appreciate.
Please avoid overly explicit language in signatures, thanks!

I'm gonna agree with Jean that having Noble Bastion being crossbow hero locked is kinda silly. Bringing a shield as a crossbowman is just hindering yourself and/or the team since it takes the spot of your ammo, crossbow, support, or melee. The VERY niche argument for its use would be if you were trying to solo Rag and having trouble getting to wave 8, but soloing hard or normal its better to bring med box and pick up an enemy shield. Otherwise if you're with a team then someone else is probably bringing a shield that you could pick up after respawn.
This sentiment is reflected by the community since Pavise Champion is probably the least played class, and other crossbowman never bring shields. Also, prior to the "usable by all" fix the only players that brought noble bastion into game were Juggs and since the fix I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen it in game. I've also only seen half-board shield in game once (Jean), and I've never seen reinforced sks in game (I'm honestly curious if its ever been crafted.)
I don't think it would be game breaking to make it usable by infantry since its barely better than house crafted infantry shields, and is not better than house crafted RG/PC shields unless its upgraded.

I think the Noble Bastion needs to be modified to match its Red Legend status, if not, I suggest it be returned to the Yellow Legend status, as its attributes and generality do not support its high status. You need to be at least crossbowman and infantryman to be a red legend.
If not modified, it will probably only be available to Adventurer in Cavalry mode, and as for PC, they have Steel Tower Shields.
