Yes automatic is fine.. it would be neat if the shield actually blocked more things.. such as sword attacks from the front, maybe bushes... I mean these are projectiles/weapons just like fireball and arrow.. you should be able to block more things with the shield basically..

I think arrows sticking in the shield and walls and being able to be picked back up would be cool.. and even bouncing off the shield and actually doing damage and being seen server side (instead of it bouncing off the shield for the client only)
