Update Shield Skills w/MH Weapons
The Shield provides a role in being a “Defocus” tool. People choose it primarily for the defences it provides without chewing up a utility slot. “Boring” as you may find it both of those ability subsets you’ve suggested are a nerf to that role.
Secondly Protection just isn’t a Warrior mechanic, if you want the extra mitigation try asking for more access to the Weakness condition instead.

I really like shields but I find that the same two skills are a bit bland. I suggest that those two skills stay in place for Mace as a MH but when you switch to Axe or Sword the shield skills change with the MH weapon.
Here are a couple suggestions per MH.
Axe:
(Shield 5)
Enraged Slam
25 sec CD
Slam shield into ground.
(Blinds for 1 sec and 4 x vulnerability 10 sec)(Shield 6)
Shield Charge
50 sec CD
Charge to target location, anything in your path is knocked back and interrupted.
(Does what it says)Sword:
(Shield 5)
Ferocious Bash
25 sec CD
Spin wildly bashing your shield into nearby opponents heads that bleeds them.
(8-10 sec bleed)(Shield 6)
Quick Defenses
45 sec CD
Jump back evading and gain protection.
(5 sec Protection)Comments? Idea’s to improve?
if you truly feel that way play a theif although you won’t get a shield you will have skill change on you combination of weapons.
