Legionnaire Shielding Skill

[Terath]

Could I get a Dev response here?

Do you honestly need a developer response?
YOU aren't satisfied with the shield skill of Legionnaire. That's fine. The legionnaire is not BUILT for shielding. It's not what the class is about. Legionnaire has an exceptional one-handed skill, and of all things holy, the ability to throw weapons. To be honest, giving the class more shielding skill than the average Commando is already overpowered, because the class still has the ability to do the damage of a Commando two-hander with a shield and throwing weapons to boot. If you don't like the Legionnaire's skills and what it is made for, you shouldn't have chosen it.

I don't mean to sound or be harsh or mean here. If I am, I'm sorry - but really, it doesn't need a buff. Cut damage alone got a buff, so stacking another buff on a class that doesn't need it will make it more overpowered than it already is. Sure, its throwing skill isn't the best, but its shield skill should be still enough to hold the line in a sticky situation, or its blade to end an enemy that has gotten through the barricades. The class has essentially all of the uses; just because it's based around one-handed doesn't mean the game took anything away from two-handed when you went hero. Just because it isn't royal guard doesn't mean it doesn't have a shield. Just because it isn't pikeman doesn't mean it doesn't throw spears. The class is good in different ways from Zweihander and Royal Guard, but that doesn't mean it isn't good.
