Which one is more important for the shield?

Also, how do I get another HotBar to appear?

The hotbars are configured using the gear under the chat window.

So you're asking if you should allocate your attributes towards STR or DEX am I right? Do STR man for block strength.

No he's asking which kind of shield is best: Large shields with high block strength but low block rate, or smaller shields which have the opposite properties.

So far i've only been using large shields. I suspect, as with most things, that this is a situational issue. Small shields will be better for low damage, fast attacking mobs, such as pugilists/monks. Larger shields are probably better for slower, heavier attacks. Or i could be totally wrong and it might be designed to all even out and just be a personal preference thing. Needs more info.
