Content Patch 0.3.0 - Expand Shield Skills

For Content Patch 0.3.0, I hope the devs expand shield skills to add more build diversity. What shield skills would you like to see added to the game? I'll go first, below are a few ideas...

Dragon Scale
Type: Fire
Requires: Shields
When you raise your Shield, a multi-headed hydra emerges on the front of your shield and attacks enemies within range by launching firebolts.

Stalagmite Barrier
Type: Physical
Requires: Shields
When you raise your Shield, an earthen spear skewers enemies in a line as you block incoming damage. Damage is increased by a percentage of your thorns.

Luminous Shield
Type: Crowd Control
Requires: Shields
When you raise your Shield, light erupts from your shield blinding all enemies in front of you for a short time. Area of effect is increased by a percentage of your light radius.
