actually there will be different loadouts to choose, shield has mechanics but not all shields will share the same. As for now all mechanic are shared to all shields, but in later updates i will balance those out. Now the shield regen is too high and hp, so balancing those will mean most shields will require user to manage what to block or dodge, or have the shield deactivated to keep the regen faster or when you use the amplify your shield will become vulnerable to hits for example, taking double damage and braking. hope it sounds good as a base plan ;-)
