Make directional shields impact combat more...

As of right now, directional shields are an after thought of most players. Or some players just put them "all up" or a certain direction depending on the class they are fighting. And failure to not utilze them is not that important.

With the current pvp caster vs melee problem, people have suggested many ideas to spell combos to stamina solutions. Why not just use a current exisiting game mechanic and just tweak it a bit more like directional shields.

Make using directional shields as important to a caster to use as combos are to melee classes.

Have so any hit to a non shielded area totally disrupts a spell and causes stamina drain. While blocking a hit with all 3 shields prevents these. Something along these lines. Make it so casters can't just say "oh a barb, I'll just put all shields up" type thinking now. Make it so it is more of a chess match instead of a contest of kiting.

This would bring a more dynamic combat experience to casters without re-doing spells to use combos. It would utilize an current game mechanic and would require minimal tweaking.
