Shield bonuses came later in the game. Not classic.

iirc, according to that old (PoP-era?) dev post, the shield "bonus" (i.e. shield AC ignores the AC softcap) came in with the mid-velious melee combat revamp that brought Monks back down from demi-godhood. [edit]was monk nerf really not until Luclin?[/edit]

Not til the end of Luclin in fact.
