Shield data: Size 2 vs Size 3

[Yellow Mage]

RDM should have much higher Parrying skill, at least C+.

It makes sense for RDM not to be able to use large shields, but having such a low parrying skill is stupid.

I mean come on, Rapiers and Duelist with D skill?

Be careful: this is a thread relating to Shields, and in a Paladin forum.

So, please redirect any and all Red Mage indignation to the appropriate forum for the sake of avoiding off-topicness.

I know I went pretty off-topic with my side rant, but at least I was replying to something, and defending Red Mages' right to use the Kite Shield (as per the Shield theme of the thread). You . . . kinda came out of nowhere.

So, again, please be careful and remain on topic.
