Being an active legionnaire myself, I'd like to add my 2-cents while taking up as little of your people's time as possible:
-legionnaire should not get a shielding boost, for reasons already given by susanoo, etc.
-Legionnaire does need a buff, still:
-giving legionnaires an extra athletics point, while nice, would not be logically justifiable. A legionarrie shouldn't be as fast and nimble as a hero archer.
-giving the legionnaire an 40/50 pt buff to throwing skill would be both justifiable and not OP.
-making a special light armor would be a justifiable and fair buff to the class. However, it would require far more effort than simply giving the legionnaire a stat boost. In addition, giving the legionnaire light armor and a throwing buff would be OP/unbalanced and even if it was it allowed to happen, it would only result in other commando heroes demanding a buff as well.
I would only recommend we take the light armor route (as an alternative to the throwing buff) if somebody had already designed a decent armor for the legionnaire to wear. As far as I know, nobody has, so I firmly recommend that the legionnaire be given a throwing buff, without touching power throw.
