So with less than a month left till GW:EN i just had this thought:

Lets look at the shield inscripts we have as of right now

+10 armor vs [type of damage]
Reduce [Condition] 20%
-5 physical damage 20%
-2 physical while in stance
-2 while enchanted
-3 while hexed

i think that covers them all (i could be wrong, dont yell)

So why dont we have a -x damage while affected by a condition?

Yes i understand there is a -20% reduction, but that only applies to one specific condition.

I simply suggest that GW (at least try) to create a shield inscript along the lines of -3 while affected by a condition. In PVP most of the time you're hit with many diff types of conditions and cant keep changing shields all the time to deal with each before they come, so why not make a universal one? Furthermore, it helps those people in pve (runners, areas that have lots of pressure).

I'd like some feedback =)

I wouldn't use it personally, but can see that some might. However, if they add a new shield insciption, I would like to see one geared for Paragon use (Warrior would benefit from it too though).

-2 Damage while inder the effects of a Chant or Shout.

/sign - just cause I like new stuff

Inscriptions for shields...
Let's see...
*+5..10dmg vs Damage type. (7 of them)
*-20% condition duration (8 of them)
*-1..2 physical damage while enchanted/in stance. (2)
*-1..3 physical damage while hexed.
*-5 physical damage 20% of the times struck.
That makes 19.

Plus 4 shield handles:
* of Fortitude Health +20-30
* of Devotion Health +30-45 (while Enchanted)
* of Endurance Health +30-45 (while in a Stance)
* of Valor Health +45-60 (while Hexed)

They are all...

The condition reduction affects the time the condition will have set when applied to you...

So... like there is enchantment/stances, there could be hex/condition.
*-1..3 physical damage while suffering from a condition.
Yeah... why not? It could be called... let's see...
"What does not kill me..."
or
"Make me stronger"

More handles won't be bad, either, there are many combinations you can't obtain by upgrades but are found in non-inscribed stuff in Tyria and Cantha.
