Re: The Bushido/Parrying problem
According to OSI calculations you should have the following:
Chance of blocking with a shield: 10%
Chance of blocking with a 1-handed weapon: 34%
Chance of blocking with a 2-handed weapon: 39%
I have no idea how (if?) a shield works with a originally 2h weapon. But you can find a weak monster and just compare how often you block vs being hit. I would assume the shield would take precedence, so your chances of a successful parry are reduced - the price you pay for having an items on that were not originally designed to be used together. And ninj is pretty simple to raise if you have access to a personal trainer.
Also - not sure if having any item (relayer) in the shield slot counts as having a shield, but I would again assume it to be so. And since at 130parr/120bush you get a 5-44-49 chances I prefer not having anything in my off hand. The almost 50% chance to avoid damage is pretty good. And synergy with counterstrike bushi special (essentially an additional attackon parry) is even better.

Re: The Bushido/Parrying problem
this is an old debate. actually to tell the truth no one really knows. Colibri has mentioned before that parry/bushido conflict is a myth, but Calan (dunno) tested it and posted that there is a conflict. then again no stats or anything was posted along with it.
In My Opinion:
I have 105% reflect in Reflect Physical Damage and Trial By Fire, with insta heal. Why wouldn't i want as much damage done to me?
a bio works this way too, lots of reflect damage and healing.
