I wanted to post this here as apposed to the general boards to see how you all felt about it first...

There are a few poles out there about upgades on amors and new sets with new set bonuses and such for C5, I love the idea of new textures anything to stop us all from looking the same.

My thoughts would be simply new shields with SA's you can choose your resist with for example Red SA #(whatever) makes the shield stun resistant as well as giving the shield a red color... Or a Blue SA#(whatever) makes the shield sleep resistant.
The number on the SA is the defence rate of the resist as well as the tint on the color of the shield, so the higher the SA is the deeper the color becomes and the more resistant the shield is effective against (stun=red,blue=sleep,green=slow)....
These shields shouldnt effect the sets already out there and the added resist would help out almost ALL classes in MASS raids, sieges, PvE, or PvP.
You can WH the shields and pull them out for the specific kind of play your involved with.
Have them for each grade and have a PDEF based on the current grade standards out there and then let them have the SA's to enhance them to the level you want to make them.
So for example a B-grade shield has a base Pdef rate of 80 + you can add say an SA BLUE 10 that would give it a 50% against sleep... You could still enchant with scroles making it even more unique to your gameplay.
Just an idea as we go into pole season for new stuff in C5..
FYI if this ideas already out there I have not sceen it.
Please no reason to flame its an idea...
