I look at all the benefits of using a Shield and wow, it’s pretty kitten awesome.

but then I equip a Shield.

and then I look at my character, with the Shield hovering 5 feet off of my character’s back.

and then I go to attack something, and I see the Shield hovering 5 feet in front of my character’s arm.

and then I unequip the shield and equip another pistol.

bleh.

help. I can’t get past this heh.

I get past it rather quickly any time I knock a Thief away and prevent them from using CnD, or reflect the Sneak Attack from a P/D Thief and make them bleed themselves. Bonus points for Confusion stacks from the Interrupt (Perplexity) on both 4 and 5.

I can’t live without a shield. It’s just so versatile.

Wear a bigger shield.

Bigger shield = less noticeable.

Depens on the shield, race aswell armor. Lionguards shield for example is terrible.

I’ve honestly only noticed this with one or two shields, and they were ugly shields anyways. Even those were not as exaggerated as you’re making them out to be, I think you’re doing yourself a disservice not using the best weapon in the game for this reason.
