Shields IRONICALLY are only good vs ranged when they release their energy barrier. But other wise they don't do much.
They don't block melee that much better then any other shieldlike object. Their melee is PAHETIC, even a riot shield can do more damage or just holding a folded chair.
And they can turn off when overly pressured.
So no.. they don't need a nerf. You can easily robust someone with a shield if you know how to melee. It just wins on medium range.. but only long range and melee range it loses while that extra hand slot could have held anything else.
