Theyre not truly new, since they were available as drops previously. But since the drops were relatively rare (Sidi or Krondon) and in 1 case restricted to certain classes few people have tried them.
Shields sadly never show their speed, but you can get a good idea of how their speeds compare by the damage shield styles do and the endurance usage.
Tested with a reaver (135 qui, no RAs that make any difference) using slam:
Buckler: 243 (5 slams = 10% end remaining)
'old' small shield: 271 (5 slams = 0 end remaining)
Large Round shield: 374 (3 slams = 20% end remaining)
'old' Large Tower shield: 393 (3 slams = 20% end remaining)
Large Block shield: 432 (3 slams = 10% end remaining)
So the difference isnt just purely the looks.
Which you want to use depends what class its for, and what role its playing in group, etc but from this it seems quite a few people will benefit from changing.
Maybe someone else is interested
