Edit Reason: Clarification.

The shield slot isn't particularly competitive, and it's not even because of a best-in-slot option so much as it is that most shields don't really do anything.
With Skull Shield's recent introduction to Korvara, it got shot in the leg on the way in, with it's main gimmick being locked only to a 3m guard or higher. I would assume this is to discourage getting large benefits from something as accessible as a 1m guard, in the same vein as the Mirrored enchant being nerfed similarly in the past.
However, this nerf has made this shield, which was already not particularily commonly used, effectively null compared to just slapping on a 30% dark res shield that gives +3 defense to boot.
My proposal would be for the Skull Shield to also give the wearer the skill Riposte itself, letting it be used by more than just duelists, who rarely want to use a shield in the first place. (Edit for clarification: I would propose the caveat be that Riposte would also only activate on a 3m or higher guard.)
