Cleric's East-West shield is garbage as well. The sorcerer's small leather shield is terrible as a defensive shield but for 0.5 weight it is a very light parry item so it at least has a viable use. Hunter,Warrior,Knight and Bandit and not mentioned the Thief, who gets the Target shield (Targe) which is verry good for parrying albeit somewhat heavy, all get very good shields but you can switch out to a Buckler fairly early if you really want to save weight or just go for the Heater Shield which is what everyone usually does. I prefer the Kite Shields personally. They have very good stability for most situations for only 3.0 weight and most importantly look good :P If you want something decent that is light try the regular Wooden Shield, it has fair stability and deflection and it only weighs 1.5 units and looks good. It won't block all damage but upgraded should serve you well.
