[FR] Add config/support for auto-equipping best shield that can *parry*
Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe. I am playing with EpicLoot, as I believe a lot of players are. I also have "autoEquipShield" set to true, to make it easier to toggle between a bow and 1h/shield.
While I'm in active combat, I'm also automatically picking up EpicLoot drops from nearby monsters that I kill. Occasionally this will include a tower shield that cannot parry and significantly reduces my movement speed, and it will be equipped when I go from bow to 1h/shield as it has the higher block value.
Being unable to parry/stagger makes it very difficult to survive groups of mobs, so I have to open my inventory to switch back to a parry shield. While I'm doing this I take damage from the monsters surrounding me.
Describe the solution you'd like I don't want to dictate implementation, but I would consider a valid solution to be a boolean value, something like "prefer parry shield", that when set to false would work exactly as it does now for the "autoEquipShield" implementation, but when set to true would choose the best shield that can parry chosen by "parry multiplied by block amount", and, if none are available, then the best by block value.
Additional context A small QoL change but would be very helpful!
