Having attacks that can simply not be blocked defeats the purpose of having a shield. Shields are balanced by their defense ratings and stability (as well as the player's own stamina). If you have the right shield for the situation you shouldn't still be punished for using it. It's no different than having an attack which is unavoidable.

I'm sure remember Ceaseless Discharge's amazingly balanced fire slam attack.
