Nevermind. I noticed that the notes from today, the day after patch removed the shield skills from monk and brawler. At first I thought they meant the deflection equal to having a shield, but upon further review it seems they merely removed the skill to use them. Since they planned to give us deflection equal to using them, no worries. So...um...sorry and I now return you to your regularly scheduled message board, already in progress.
