Class Idea: Defender

Ok, I know there's a lot a Threads made from the same topic, but it's still fun to see and comments on them.
I'm doing this only for fun like the others did.

They might be a similar thread with poll, but it wasn't intended, sorry about that.

Well Here goes:

[b]Class Defender[/b]

A path for the newly warrior with the only purpose of protecting Victoria Island against the Black mages. They put their Strength and their Will in both hands to support that big and mighty shield of theirs called [b]armament[/b] (new "weapon" for the class). Despite the fact that they only use a special type of shield to fight the Black mages, Grendel the really old man seems to be unsatisfied and worry for the new class. He cooperate with Dance with Balrog so he can use his sorcery to amplify their shield (which becomes an armament) and he agreed. When the newly warrior will possess enough [b]Will to protect[/b] (get to level 10), Dance with Balrog will suggest him to meet Grendel the really Old for the next job advancement which is the Defender.

The Defender can only attack with the shield and [b]his damage range depends on the Weapon DEF.[/b]. However, weapon attacks such as Pac, wg do increase their damage, but not as much as the weapon DEF. (potential items is advised for this class).
The armament is a special weapon where there isn't weapon ATK, but weapon DEF (obviously). Scrolls and such boost the Weapon "ATK" and STR. (to not make them Overpowered).

I might not make the damage formula for this class, but the weapon DEF increase as you increase your STR(mostly) and DEX (BB patch) and with equipments.
The rest of the equipments are the same of a warrior.

For the weapons, I only got names in my head, so no stats:

Level 10 Buckler
Level 20 Ward
Level 30 Gardna
Level 40 Bulwark
Level 50 Absorber
Level 60 Rampart
Level 70 Divinity
