Shields increase physical defense and evasion, and also occasionally provide other benefits as well (especially later shields).  There's little reason for the classes listed to NOT have a Shield Equipped, except for characters with the Knight's 2-Handed ability (which doubles weapon attack when wielding a one-handed weapon without anything in the second slot)
Relevant Classes: Knights, Dragoons, Samurai, Berserkers, Mystic Knights, and Blue Mages.
