Shield speed mechanics[]
After testing with extreme numbers I found out that shield speed influences nothing else but the delay it takes after right click until your shield is ready to block melee attacks. If shield speed is set to 1, it takes about 5 seconds until your shield is ready to block melee attacks. Ranged attacks get blocked the instant you right click no matter what speed your shield has. Furthermore, you can block ranged and melee attacks at an infinite high rate, no matter how high your shield speed or shield skill is.

Shield size mechanics[]
Shield size only affects the blocking of projectiles. Versus melee attacks, the combination of shield size 1 and shield skill 0 blocks melee attacks from the same range of directions as the combination of a huge huscarl shield and the shield skill of 10.
The shield skill seems to add an absolute bonus to shield coverage. 4 levels of shield skill boost a penny-sized shield with the tiny size of 1 to size of a medium-sized shield.

- I don't see any of this contradicting what the article states... What are you proposing here, or are you just presenting your findings?
