Size of shield determines how well you guard more than anything apart from slam speed and damage.

found that kind of cryptic, but i think u are trying to say that the size of the shield determines how well u block vs. multiple attackers.

Thats wrong actually, size of shield doesnt matter at all when it comes to guarding someone, its only the amount of attackers u can block at the same time attacking YOU. You will block just as much and as many ppl when you are guarding someone with a small as with a large shield.

Patch 1,74

To address an issue where some shield users (utilizing high shield spec and high levels of Mastery of Blocking), were able to block 100% of the time, the chance to block has been modified to be capped based on the size of the shield and the number of attackers the shield is designed to block. Please note that this cap is very high and will have minimal to no effect on the majority of shield users.

I might read it wrong but to me it seems like it also affects on 1 oponent, weather u have small - large.

There was a bug, that allowed small shield users (scouts) to block against multiple ranged attackers (hunters/rangers). That bug was fixed, but it wasn't a nerf.

PS: Answer to a question, that isn't there any more...Nerf your editing skillz :p
