I agree for the most part. Havels armor and a few others are worth it though at least for pvp. I made a fat roller with pates shield and the butchers knife at level 150 and had a decent record with it. HOWEVER for playing through the story, fat rolling is going to make things mu-uch harder and I think that's really your point, and I totally agree.

Plus what's up with so many the great shields not having 100 percent physical block? It boggles the mind....
