I said only ranged guys aim for feets and body, or did you ever see a melee guy aiming for your boots?

I've given two situations of the top of my head where you're likely to be hit in the foot by a bot, which is when you're standing higher than the bot, or when you're fighting from horseback.

Ye, sorry forgot about the Cav mode. You them for it true dat, but when you are higher than your enemy, for example the old cading spot of Hidden Cave, then you only get hit from the side, so the only use for a shielder would be against ranged, on a horse or in a stupid situation where he is above the enemies.

I seem to have struck some nerves with my reasoning, this was not at all my intention. I'm not at all saying the Aventurier should not get a buff. But that's not the discussion at hand. I feel that the currently discussed item would fit best with the Pavise as it is one of the points of that class as it stands now. Could heavier armor fit the Aventurier better than the Pavise? Maybe. But in that case it should get all the extra armor the Pavise has access to (which is only its Ironflesh buff and the Black Armor so far), because otherwise you'd have two Hero classes with an identical point of focus, while the entire purpose of Hero classes is to specialize in different areas.

Sure a hero class specifies its use like shielde or so, but there should be better Sharpshooter boots at all, so like Commandos they all have access to Swadian and Defender Boots. Maybe boots with -1 armor than Swadian Boots, but this should be discussed somewhere else.
