Trust me. Shields can't possibly be overrated.

Sure, you can beat the entire game without a shield. But there's a certain feeling you get when you're wielding a shield that makes you feel safe. I for one have a noticable performance increase when wielding a shield compared to when I'm not, even if I don't use it.
