Tbh, I can't really see any reason to get the Tower Shield actually. If your xbowman is not Pavise, the shield skill is too low to shield for the team. If it is Pavise than it can use Aegis and you save half the money... Please, correct me if I get it wrong, I do admit I don't play an xbow char so maybe I'm missing something.
Yes, you are missing all of the projectiles you are supposed to catch because your shield is too small
That is the general idea behind the Tower Shield, at least. It also has slightly higher damage soak over the Aegis, but honestly it is such a marginal difference that I would agree with you if it weren't for the size difference between the two shields that becomes increasingly apparent with less shield skill (Pavise being at 9 compared to RG's 10).
