There are a lot of feats, from low to high level, that are "you raise your shield and do X"
on the flipside, at level 12 you have access to paragon guard, your only Stance available through your Class feats, that make half of those feats obsolete, and the other half just bad, due to the fact that now you don't need to keep raising your shield every time.
The way I see this playing out, is a lot of guardians simply having to take a lot of downtime as soon as they reach level 12 to start retraining out of the lower level feats, and then never picking the higher level feats.
Which is a problem imo.

A possible solution would be to change the generic Paragon guard to a Guardian unique stance that has the clause "Whenever you would raise your shield, if the shield is already Raised, you can instead do X (where X is something simple like "stride half of your speed" or "Step" or something of that nature").
