Thoughts about dual-equipped shields?

Diaboli · May 2014

I think it would be nice to have a build available that allows you to dual-equip shields. You could be a supertank, the armor alone is great, but imagine the bash-spam!

It's also closer to an unarmed skill, which I would also like to see. This game is young, they can still change a lot of things. I hold out hope for some new class or skill lines in the future.

... no

As for unarmed then having a monk type could be fun with this combat system but the NB kinda covers that type of in your face style.

If this game gets an unarmed class, I beg that they don't call it monk. It just doesn't fit the theme. I would rather a "Brawler" class.

Um, there's a very good reason why warriors never did this in the real world (or at least not more than once). Have you ever tried to use 2 shields at once? Yeah, it's super ineffective.

Actually I kind of like it. Maybe with a smashing cymbal attack to stun opponents, or maybe a wax-on wax-off buff

It works as well as throwing fire, or summoning scamps ;D

Are you the same Ur-Quan that likes rabbits?

No, I'm the Ur-Quan who likes forming a hierarchy of battle thralls. Although rabbit is delicious, so I guess I do like rabbits.

Nope. It is the second time I hear this demanded in a game.

It is to OP and awesome to ever be in the game.

Dual Shields it is an idiotic idea that originated from some idiotic asian f2p mmorpg.

After playing this patch in the VR 4 area, screw it, let's really mess the game up.

I'm all for this.

Currently you can wear a single shield on your back and punch things to death... You look like a turtle.

I been thinking about making an alt that is a NB, using nothing but shadowy dagger looking class abilities and sporting the single shield.

Shadow Monk.

*Edited: btw, my alt now has a low lvl Flint sheild... I am a war painted Ninja Turtle... XD*

Dual-shield? Eh. I don't know about a class based on it. Maybe just make it possible from dual-wielding? For the people that really want it?

Now unarmed. Yes please. Not necessarily "monk" but definitely an unarmed class.

>.> But only if they allow more character slots.
