The mechanic change being what? Less damage reduction, and\or more prayer points loss?
Also depending on what level you define low (40-50 being my guess) that would either be so much junk. Low def pkers have no prayer points normally (smite max) and would be liable to be smited out really fast with that, and they probably arent gonna be bossing with this shield. The usefulness of this is very questionable.
Mid level would probably also fall under "Junk" if the high level is retained at 75def, because that puts mid level at 60ish def which again is not bossing and I dont think theres a lot of useful pvp builds with this set up.
Which leaves...high level as the only viable one.
In regards to the making of melee\range\mage. If the feature only works on one side of the triangle, its probably gonna loss its value a little quicker because I imagine over time bosses will simply ignore prayer entirely to make them more and more "challenging" - that would be where divines really shine.
Well, I think the mechanics for lower levelled shields would work in very much the same fashion, only with worse stats than its higher leveled counterpart.
A level 70 player with 40 defence shouldn't be taking as much damage as a level 120 with 90 defence anyways, so the prayer drain rate would scale accordingly. And although that level 70 may not go "bossing" per say, who is to say he will not want something more effective to go try out Giant Mole, Barrows, or even a pesky Killerwatts task?
And along your line of thoughts, you seem to be hinting that anything defensive is not very effective in PvP. However, it seems most everyone complaining about OP shields are mainly the PKer type, albeit for higher leveled shields.
Different tiered shields may not be the best idea, I agree. I was just trying to find some kind of quick fix to the issues everyone has with the shields. I'll keep thinking and post if I think of something better
