As an extension to the proposed summer combat sweep-up, it would be cool to finally buff shields. Shields feel pretty useless compared to other options (2h weapons and defenders) besides very specific content.

I propose giving the new flat armour system, initially proposed for NPCs. Depending on the shield tier, they would have between 1 and 5 flat armour, which directly translates to flat damage reduction.
