7 is a very low requirement to get 1 less armor than max.

low armor loss for low req

Many pvp build can benefit from using a shield with a low req of 7. Many monks used to run 7 tactics in the mo/w builds and having 15-16 armor was much better then having only 8.

Now shields dont drop in req 7 (max inscription has to be 8) so instead of paying over 100+ ectos for a req 7 16 max shield people can buy a req 7 inscript with 15 armor to get almost the same benefit and save lots of cash. You are also able to use whatever inscripts you want on them.
