As it stands the azure armor line is one of the worse sets in the game.

My idea for this set is to have it be able to use the shield at any time,namely while charging a attack, during charge attacks, bashing, and while holding items, with the downside of moving drastically slower.
___lets call it shield valor (SV)___

---for each rank of this ability(low,med, etc.) the knight moves 1/6 faster their normal speed when shielding during a action they normally wouldn't be able to.
---for the defender/crest of almire lines I would say give them a natural faster shield movement speed (it goes above the normal speed when paired with the armor)

-2* armor = each piece has low SV so in total med (2/6 % regular movement speed)

-3-4* armor = each piece has SV med so in total very high (4/6 % regular movement speed)

-5* armor = each piece has SV high so in total there is full movement speed (faster with the defender line)

Further suggestions for this armor line would be appreciated.
