This is a really good Shield for Pld.
It will block more often than Koenig, but for less damage. The total damage reduced is pretty much the same as Koenig, however this shield gives additional Utsusemi recast support.
Depending on the damage mitigation of the upcoming "Sheild Defense Bonus" trait for PLD 77, this may possibly be the shield to have for your PLD. Or at least it will be until they release newer/better small shields.
This shield sucks for anything other than /Nin on pld blocks horrible dmg but often. So if you're anything other than /nin go with a kite size shield. And the amount of def it has doesn't overshadow the size, it'll never block more than a Koenig or Terror Shield.
Fudge this shield!
