As we all know, snb > 2h, so maybe it would make melee wp's more viable without drastical mesures like that last detaunt fix.
It would make Salvation WPs OP.

You would have a Salvation WP in the frontline, with close to 100% uptime +20% heal bonus from Exalted Defenses thanks to their Shield. On top of that, he would have a spammable AoE detaunt. Finally, he would be gaining Righteous Fury every time he got hit (Fueled Fury).
The only classes that should use shields in WAR are tanks. Anyway, i am 100% sure WPs will NEVER use shields in RoR. So, i have nothing left to say in this thread. Cya!

Did you read my post and check the spec or just stopped at "It would make Salvation WPs OP"?

Yes, I did. I think the only way to see how it will affect balance is to try it. At least on the test server.

No. Several of us dont need to try it to realize it is a terrible suggestion.
Anyway, i know it will never happen. And actually i'm surprised this thread hasnt been locked yet (like yesterday and that "buff sorc" thread).

Games Workshop was fine with the game as it was. Who are you to argue against it.
Btw I vote for almighty Archmages!

Not a good point Sulorie. After all, Games Workshop created Age of Sigmarines...

Giving them the ability to wear shields would compleletly imbalance classes.
Have to say that since the change with the WP ive noticed a big difference, on my WE at one point WP were difficult to take down, now I don't bother its totally impossible (it took me and 2 choppas to get one down to half health in a SC) and seeing in T1 the wave of new two-handed WPs about to come up the tiers makes me pretty much give up.
So a shield on a WP too....no.
