Pawns don't worthlessly bang on their shield all the time though, they're smart, they do it when other pawns (or you) are under attack and can't necessarily reach you to get them off you, which is especially true with flying enemies, which can be hard for fighters to hit in the air in order to draw agro without use of shield summons. Its also useful if you're the fighter and you're trying to lure griffins down to fight, they'll be much more prone to attack you if you use this while they're in the sky.

The skill isn't useless, far from it. You just have to be intelligent enough to know how to use it.
