I want to see those 25 % + shields. Because everyone from instances i see has 15% maximum on it.

And also, it's not envy. Most of the people that want to change it are in guilds that HAVE it already. Please, try to see the reason behind this : If Soe is gonna change all transfers and hate mechanisms, then do it from start to end, with all gear. And not leave up and old item that totally defies the new rules.

If all fighters have about the same threat output after the change as they had before, or maybe a bit better, and were near the hate gain cap with certain classes without the shield , and maxed it with it, now all (plate) fighters will have about the same aggro as before, but with the added shield none of the previous hate gain will be wasted. Where would brawlers stand then ? Further behind, again.

It's like taking away the unbreakable warlock root prior to LU 13 but being able to do a looooong winded quest for all mages to get an item that enhances roots to be unbreakable again , that still existed after the LU - not the best analogy but i hope that you get the point.
