4 Lo Shields are hardly crippling.
You give up, what, 35 fcr, 55 fhr (irrelevant to a build with such low bps in the first place), +2 skills and some mana. In the end it's not too significant, 95% LR is huge.
A good example of losing an item that is build crippling is a Zon that has to sacrifice ias, a Ghost that has to give up their Circlet, or a Trap that gives up Griffs/08 Valk.
PLayers are the one determine if it cripples. They can choose not to participate in clans and just duel in pubs and just wear tgods. For Pub bvc, they can choose only to use berber coa instead of a LoLocoa + berber coa in stash for clan bvcs. PLayers can choose to have it clan style, or pub style and not involve in clans and it's their decision. West trappers who played clans back then will be able to give you a more satisfied answer.
So keep the flames down. Professor is just writing a guide base on his dueling experience. Probably he didn't consider the opinions of players from other realms. If there is a requirement to include options from other realms, i am sure he will come up with a 2nd version. It is practically not possible to cater to everyone wishes. Someone will have to take a step back. Flamming without listening to him is no good. I am happy to see you Tails chaos and tudey calm in this discussion. I comment you for it.
Guten Abend! Have a good rest everyone. Let's continue tomorrow Morgen.
