Weapon/armor degradation has been removed in Skyrim. It doesn't bother me much. But shields that don't take any damage just doesn't work for me. The basic idea is, we need shields that block better and block arrows from start (without a perk needed) but suffer damage and break in time. Later a repair shield mod could be added. What do you think?
I think weapons and armor should have a quality. Not necessarily able to 'break' but able to lose its optimal use (lowered defense/attack). Graded equipment. Especially shields and Weapons.
