You can't have it both ways, Cfp. The scutum can't simultaneously be easily dodgeable and super huge and incredibly cumbersome. I mean, Roman soldiers were obviously trained to use a sword and scutum in conjunction, so while Tiberius may be comparatively slower than Ganzorig swinging around a saber one-handed, that's to be expected. He isn't going to be an Alock-level slug though like you're making him out to be.
