...What do you mean "There's no Elemental/Shadow/Piercing/Normal on my Shield list"?
Don't you know? Status Protection > HP > Type Defense; that's how Shield defense works, and your shield selection should be handled as such.
I'm not in love with normal weapons, but there are some (Nitronome, Iron Slug, etc.) that players might want to put on such a list.
In armor, I'd much rather see categorization by class (sworder, gunner, bomber) or status, because they are more important than damage.
