Shields are primarily defensive weapons. Although evasion is usually the better options for a sustained offensive, sometimes it is far more effective to absorb incoming damage: to weather a shower of attacks from multiple assailants or a barrange of sniper shots, for example - a situation in which phasing would severely depletes your MP bar, whereas blocking with a shields cost very little. Shields can also deal respectable damage while easily maintaning your defensive pose. You can also equip them to take advantage of the parameter boost granted by some of the individual weapons in this category.
