4 Attribute Shields (for GW2)

Right now, we have 4 kinds of shields:

Tactics
Strength
Command
Motivation

Especially as a Warrior, you have the same kind of shield usually as a tactics and a strength variant, taking up storage together with the many helmets and so on.

Suggestion:

Make shields have

req. X (STR, TAC, COM or MOT)

or whatever attributes there will be in GW2.

/signed, just like we have with some staves

/signed

They should be str or tac and com or mot. And not all of them. Some staves would have this too.

/signed

Would make things much simpler.

There are already staves and focuses with 4 attributes.

Why not shields?

/signed

eh wth sounds like an improvement.

signed

good idea.

I bet they'll do it for some boss' green.

as in GW2 there may be a completely different attribute or requirement system (for example level requirements) and we know nothing about it yet, we should concentrate on GW1.

And for GW1 this is a fantastic idea! (if applied well)

Some time ago I was thinking of ways to have some rare items be 'better' than an ordinary perfect but not affect balance and PvP. And this is such a cool way to do this!

How I'd like it to be done:

*Have Gold Shields (yes, only gold) occassionally (for example 20% chance)drop with a secondary requirement, always the other one of the same profession.
*both requirements should be separate - so a shield can drop with for example (Reqires 10 Strength, 11 Tactics)
*the "Master my Domain" inscription should ofcourse work on the attribute of the first requrement only, so the 2 attrib shields aren't functionally strictly better than 1 attrib.
