RG is the most boring class maybe even pointless.

so first of all, the 12 shield skill is OP, no doubt. however, I enjoy it very much, since I can cosplay as a queen's guard with a knightly heater shield and am still able to shield, if I have to. now, I don't think RG as a class needs any changes. just standing there without doing anything at all is what its intended purpose is I guess (?). that doesn't mean you're forced to just stand there without doing anything at all. RG's got 55 less 2h skill than zwei and 35 less than sentry; 40 less 1h skill than legio. what I want to show is that it might not be the most optimal class to use 1h/2h, but it's far from being weak or bad (like legio or ranger shielding). I believe a class isn't inherently boring, it's about how you play it and make use of its stats/items. saying you should respec to zwei if you want to use 2h is like saying every sentry/sentinel should respec to warden if they want to use a bow. also, saying an RG should only ever shield because that's its speciality is like saying an MP should never use a pike, because it specializes in throwing. so, ever since jean did ashes on RG, I'm convinced it's always about how you play it, not necessarily the stats. also, a durendal/mercy or byrllysg/mortifer aren't bad weapons; even though they're not the best in their category, you can still make up for that small difference with skill.
