shields will they be worth it?

[sickside]

So after the various talks about armor and how much it takes to even make a difference, I.e. maxed protection giving 60 armor and only resulting in absorbing like 2 or so points. So what kind of stats would shields need or is everyone getting all excited over nothing?

Every little bit of armor helps.

Well, they will be worth it for some but might not be for everyone. Engineers for example... They really can use a 1h gun and wear a shield at no loss more or less. If you can find a shield that gives some armor and hp... can't see why an engi wouldn't want to use one.

I can see engineers using them but that would be the only class I could also see shields maybe making protection worth taking again but for personal use/solo only

Gloves look to be 2 handed weapons. I mean if they are not heavy weapons are probably one handed because he holds it with one hand

to use a shield you would have to either use a pistol or a heavy pistol no other weapons that we have at the moment will work with shields

Perhaps a light-saber hrrrmmmm? Like the kind that the miners use? hrmmmm....
