Guardian blocks everything. And gives you ER and passive status resistance. Divine Shield can block certain Physical-Magical attacks like the Thorns from Memory Monk Trainees, if memory serves. You aren't missing much on anything by equipping a shield. If you've got a nice shield with a nice potential, that setup stands on its own. For Heroes and Paladins. Paladins get an extra bump for using one, though.
The rest is a cop-out. Tug at the game like that and the whole thing falls apart. Classes need their gimmicks. Its a gimmicky game. We can trade anecdotes if you'd like, but projecting them onto other players doesn't do anyone any good.
There isn't anything to engaging in this pissing contest. If the Knights get the damage and the tricks, there will be people crying foul. All there is to it.
