For when you do a Pantheon VU Riot (With poll)

I believe that Pantheon should ditch the giant shield. Yes the shield. Now, I know I am going to get flamed, but I think that the shield obscures Pantheons identity as a Champion. Instead of a being the bad ass Warrior/Baker from Mt. Targon, hes just a reference to the 300 movie. I think that a smaller shield, like a buckler, would fit Pantheon and his role as a skirmisher. The buckler would fit his identity better because of how his way of life is, you must be strong and swift if you wish to live on Mt. Targon. The Big shield doesn't cut it, it makes him look like a run of the mill solider fresh out of Sparta. The small shield would give him a leaner, much more scrappy look that currently fits his kit. ( Possibly give him more leather armor than just a full breastplate?) Any thoughts on this?
