Oops lol, when I said "carry weight", I didn't mean it literally.
I meant that the fact that it has a special ability(shield that blocks) will warrant an impediment on one of its other assets, but not as heavily impact the damage as it currently is.

Though, it would be a decent idea to add the handicap of 'slowing you down' when the shield is enabled; and in that event I could see reason to increase the block percentage; to cope for the increased vulnerability.

Checks and balances :].
