If you could use the striker/recon shields in PvE, would you?
totally recon
recon is balanced fine as it is though and no need to nerf it

Question: If you could use the striker/recon shields in PvE, would you?
Answer: no
I would use striker for sheer fun factor, and probably speedrunning, but it'd be bad for everything else. And I wouldn't use recon because striker is better for avoiding conflict.
That Deathmark though...... more powerful than strong poison, forget striker class, gimme that recon with CTR and deathmark.
I would 24/7 recon, but this would be too damn overpowered... and pretty fun.
Absolutely. The massive health and offense benefits would make me truly terrifying, as would the ability to dash or become invisible indefinitely.
Both would be insanely OP. As most have already pointed out, Striker would be super useful for speedrunning while I reckon Recon would be more useful for non-swordies and people who would fight a lot, since the death mark is worth quite a bit.
Striker would be useful when in parties with some meat shields so you can avoid taking damage but can deal a lot of damage. Recon allows you to get close for sword combos, but if it would be changed so that it will take a few seconds before you could use it again it would be not such as OP.
What would be OP is the guardian shield. But if it would be tweaked it would be interesting...
I'd use the striker one for speed running. And the sword damage + asi medium might be more useful than swiftstrike if you're mostly using swords.
The recon one isn't too necessary since you have the maskeraith's cloak.
