The shield would have X amount of HP and be used more-so in team combat, one person shields, one person fires.

As for the graphic, it looks neat but doesn't match Zone at all, in my opinion.

That's because I'm not that good at GFXing to do zone stuff, nor did I try hard enough.

"Then I don't like it. Seems pointless. I don't see why I would use a shield instead of fighting. The point is to be a better fighter, having better abilities with guns, and more kills. This weapons is the invert of all this. The only good use to an item like this would be deflecting mortars/rocket lunchers."

Anyhow, the idea would be to use a ONE-HANDED WEAPON, -AND- the shield at the same time, just you press one button to shoot, and one to defend/reflect/whatever.

So it's not just "durr lets stand infront of my friends and block attacks", it's actually meant to be used FOR combat. Gosh..

"maybe add it into the "Defender" class rather then make it a Gelet weapon."

It would make a lot of sense for the defender class, considering they move so slowly (Have a Dh18 in one hand, and a shield in the other). Also, I wouldn't want it to be a gelat weapon.. even IF it was added.
