Make Shield Bashing count as a light attack for Ult Gain.

Shadesofkin · February 2015

It's already given a boost by the invigorating bash star (I dig that btw), but I'd like it to count as a light attack. It's costing me stamina so it's not as if I'm going to be able to do it all time, it's usually doing light attack damage, and it would help out for players interrupting enemy castings.

I agree, this would make ultimate regen more fair for tanks! This is from a PvE perspective at least.

I disagree. The permenant block had to stop.
Now it will be more chalenging that we have to land some heavy or light attacks.

I think any damage-dealing activity should proc the ultimate buff. It can't stack, it is on a timer, and this would normalize all class rolls. Keep the healer-leech ultimate option too, in case your healer isn't weaving (why?) but this way whether it's a skill or a weapon attack, you're generating Ultimate.

Basically, generate hate/threat = generate ultimate.

I tend to agree. We know the system only resets the timer when you make another attack. Since it cannot stack there doesn't seem to be any reason not to make any form of attack able to generate ultimate.

LOL no way. You seriously want to permanently hold block? smh...

I don't hold block permanently. I find it to be an ineffective way to tank most of the time. But I do hold it often and I use shield bash.
