If you can make that shield thingy guys, then you are gonna have a way more balanced server in the aspect of pvp. I hope you guys make that shield equipping thingy good enough to make chars like Bladers and Sworders and Bowers playable... If for example a Glavier and Spearer cant equip the shield that often, to Sworder and Blader might be able to kill someone... So I got one wish, make Bladers/Sworders worthy to play with. No freakin server plays them, because they are just not useful at all. BTW one of the most underrated aspect of being a Blader/Sworder is the efficiency during jobbing. So the Bicheon build is a little tricky because the strongest Bicheon skills are mainly the Knock Downs and Stabs. This is a problem, because for example whenever they KD somebody the whole team of non Bicheon builds have to look and cant do nothing. I dont know if it makes any sense or not, but if you could modify some weak skills of other builds usable during KDed an opponent, that would make maybe a little difference. For example the first skill in Heuksal should be usable on a KDed opponent, because that skill is not even skilled by the people anymore, because it is weak and useless. And a Bower skill, I dont know the name of it, it should be customized the same way maybe. I am not an expert, just thinking, but please consider everything here, because Silkroad itself is not balanced at all for private servers. I have been playing since the cap 60, so I watched the game heading the way it is now, but it has so much potential that is unused even today...On a private server the original balance is getting fcked because of the high pimped stuffs and the things make us play on a private server(easy lvling, a lot of events, more uniques, more chance for Avatars, Scrolls, Premium and so on...) For example Bladers were freakin cool back then, because they were able to tank, and they were able to kill opponens, because no1 had freakin high blued and plussed items... With a private server you gotta think about the builds that are in the game, and a lot of builds make no sense at all, like bladers. Cant kill sh1t, cant kill uniques, cant kill any1 without zerk, int nukers kinda survive even without snow... So please, try to make more builds just worth, after the shield equipping stuff, maybe boost Pacheon and Bicheon a bit, so you could have more people joined I guess. A lot of people just want to be able to own Str chars with their Int builds, but that's not what they should beg for. They should beg for an overall sense for every build, that is actually right for a private server. Sorry for the essay, but I hope maybe something gives an idea to you. But keep in my that you wont be able to fully balance the system, you can just polish it mainly and making it better as you can.
