Shields should not protect the player from explosions

The Combat Test 8b brought several changes that make PvE and PvP easier, as potions are now much more overpowered. So I think the shields should change. I think the shield should protect the player from all attacks, except explosions. Creeper explosions are their only method of attack, and if a player carries a shield it is "impossible" for a Creeper to kill him, so I think that the shield can be changed to protect 100% of all attacks, except explosions.

    No, it brings an incentive to bring shields to crystal pvp, and honestly, point blank creepers are impossible to defend against without shields.
