I'm still unsure where all this belief that 8 shielding is terrible is coming from. Your shield is really breaking on wave 16 of normal? Seems like a problem with your shield not the skill :\ I have shielded full normal runs with only 1 studded steel shield and only had to repair a couple times towards the end. I have also shielded full hard runs, even full (20 man) rag events. Sure the royal guards last longer, but with three shields equipped and proper timing switching them, the legionnaire can last just fine on any mode. Sure the increase to 9 shielding would be great but I stand by what Winter has said (and I have said in the past) that if anything needs a buff it is the terrible throwing ability.
