woh! glad you could understand my point. lol i just re-read it and figured out that i should NOT post when im sleepy or in a hurry. and i know it would get lighter, but think about it, if you were fighting 3 enemies, 2 would come to the sides...you would NOT be able to move that barn door fast enough to block all 3 sides. not saying you'd be able to do it with a kite shield, but you'd block more from the sides. you'd block less from the front than a tower shield but more from the sides. i see this as getting the same blocking potential in different ways
