Shield Weapons should Aggro when Blocking!

as the title says Shield Weapons should Aggro when Blocking!
It sucks when you are trying to offer support to your team, and the Ranged enemies are always shooting past you into your teammates.

So i propose to make Shield Type Weapons should have an Aggro effect that when blocking causes Ranged enemies in a certain range(Coherency Radius) to target the blocking Shield User. working the opposite of the Veterans Camo Expert Feat but only for Enemies engaged in ranged fire.

i know some may say well wont that make these builds harder to play and yes they will. but lets face it if your bringing a shield you should be doing it more for your team, so you know what your getting into. also again it only applies when blocking, so when shooting slashing and dodging you will not have this increase Aggro.

Example:
an Orgyn with the Maul & Shield, when blocking should cause ranged enemies to target his shield when blocking, this would also mean that if such an Ogryn has the Towering Presence Feat they would have a larger area of Aggro and beable to help out teammates more.

the same would go for a Psyker with any Force Sword with Deflector and when blocking. allowing the smaller shield of the Psyker to be used better in combat when trying to draw fire. allowing for these builds to aid the team more when used in higher difficulties.

Thoughts, Comments, Concerns?
Thanks
