Parry is superior to evasion at melee and usually better than shield at melee. I think if people auto-swapped to using shield when shot with an arrow, or were able to bonus their evasion with defending skill when shield wasn't available but parry was, you'd all be much happier. Then training parry would be completely safe, and you'd get the best of both worlds. How to handle parrying ranged is a separate issue, but also something that I believe can be worked upon.
