add another usage to shields? like i don't know.. blocking. doing so would eliminate the neccessity to only use polearms thus creating another factor of realism as well it would encourage people to change there pvp/pve loadouts up a bit, and maybe a system such as when blocking you still take damage from behind, or you can only hold it up for a certain amount of time to prevent shield hoggers.
