Not to point out the obvious or anything...
But these things should raise deflect to maximum - and lets just cut to the chase, we're finally looking at these shields being usable by one profession, and there's even the potential for enforcers to go 1HB or 1HE + shield since they've lost the dual perkline bit.
None of these shields are worth using yet with the possible exception of the defensive one but really, honestly, it's going to lower damage output considerably and it just doesn't do enough to make it a valid tradeoff, the others? Not a chance.

So, lets hear some ideas.
My feeling is that the split between the defensive shield and the offensive one is good - it offers a difference in stats etc. So lets make them usable.
Considering the 125/126 shields are questable by low levels I think we should have a lower shield that is broadly meant for and usable by TL3 but twinkable by low TL3maybe even high TL2, and the other higher shield should be something that is more TL4/5, and then the snake tamer should take over for twinked TL5-TL7.
So here's some stats that I think are more in line for the QL 125 shield:
100-200(250)
att 1, rech 1
To equip:
riposte 375
deflect 569
check 100% deflect vs 100% EC
MBS 1300
Modifiers:
Deflect: 845 <-- this will bring shield up to MBS and provide a "low" deflect rating for a lower more offensive shield
Max health: 500
Melee Energy:50
And here's some stats I think are good for the QL 126 defensive shield
100-250(350)
att 1, rech 1
To equip:
riposte 600
deflect 900
check 100% deflect vs 100% EC
MBS: 2000
Modifiers:
Deflect: 1280 <-- this will bring shield up to MBS and provide a "medium" deflect rating for a lower more defensive shield
Max health: 1000
Evade close: 100
Dodge range: 100
Duck Exp: 100
AAD: 120
Snake Tamer guard should scale accordingly and boost deflect up to 3k
