Why the defender shield is now only usable by RG ?? Before I had one and I was commando... Please do the defender shield again usbale by Commado.
With this change a Defender shield cost like 1.2 million to use...and craft.

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, Defender shield has been RG only for at least the last 22 months.

You are not horribly mistaken.  Defender shield has been RG and Pavise only since I started playing.  Almost 2 years ago. 

And why is it bad that the AB has more cut then the house crafted bastard swords?  its legendary, those ones aren't. 

The reason that the house crafted bastard swords are not used, is that the price is to high compared to other weapons.  A single Damascus steel less than a Stone Maul for the Justice/Injustice.  Those of you wanting to buff these items,  Would you actually craft them over the stone maul?

All those house crafted top tier swords that you mentioned Woody are still better than the AB.  Bidenhander and EGS have 1 more cut,  Forlorn Hope has 2 more cut.  Elegant Flamberge has 26 more length for the same cut.  And before you start saying that that amount is inconsequential.  The armor upgrades we all pay many many millions for are only 2 points at a time unless you can get Gothic Plate.

As for EK verses Dwarf Axe.  Same thing as i said for the swords.  Added to the fact that the Dwarf axe drops on hard mode right now while the EK drops on rag after wave 10.  And if I had stuff I wanted to sell, I would buy Tarrod's Dwarf axe.

Woody about the SoK.  It is now a direct upgrade to both Commando Legendary shields.
