How about upgradable shield system?

ok a upgradable sheild........ i was thinking of it being just like sword,bows,axes,staffs,hammers , all of these can have 2 upgrades + bonuses i was thinking emmm sheild grip and sheild plate ( i know it's stupid ) and say the sheild grip gives +health or mabye + armor to fire... bit like the sheild bonus now, and the plate wouldbe dmg reducment like -2 dmg or -3 dmg and the bonus could be + 1 strength (17%) well...... u know it's just a idea i'll let u guys work it out.

I'd like that. Plus hp as preffixes, minus damage as suffixes. Perhaps sort them out so you could have a -2 enchanted/stance but not a -4 stance/enchanted.

Somehow I think Anet thought of that before and probably will bring it in Ch2.
