I love the insignificant hindrance on my gargoyle-hide shield. But lately, after the 500th time repairing it, I've been thinking about going with something more durable and possibly medium in size since I'm a Barb and can arm worn mediums.
Has anyone messed around with forging shields with rare metals?
>>Uhhh....Everything needs repairing, so I'm a bit confused about this.<<
^This. I'll get all my gear repaired about every other day. It's not a big deal at all, but every armor, shield, parry stick, etc gets damaged. My weapons tend to get damaged less frequently, but I do my best to keep everything in pristine condition every couple of days.

We've decided that instead of spells Paladins will be a new arm of the Bard guild utilizing interpretive dance moves.

If you use stick bows at all, stick with a small shield. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Barbs are immune to the arm-worn shield/bow accuracy penalty thing only if using a small shield. If you switch to medium you'll take the penalty.
Also, yeah, everything needs repaired on the regular now, so your shield isn't really the problem.

Capped durability might be impervious to standard wear and tear. Assuming it's not just a bug, I know my Extremely Resistant(14/17) claws from the last fest have never been repaired and I've worn them for for a very long time. Kind of a moot point on this question though since I expect that level of gear to be restricted to Fest/Auction/Prize and not player forged.
Croc and Shadow Beast Bucklers have better durability than Garg Shields if you don't mind the step up in Hindrance and Weight.
