Shouldn't the block maneuver consume less stamina?

[BloodKitten]

shouldnt the shield passivly block whatever hitting it without blocking?

[Cat_Jam]

They're both good suggestions, imo.

 

DE shouldn't buff the sword's damage but should alter how the shield works. This would make the weapon more fun and give it an edge over other melee weapons when it comes to blocking.

 

It should cost less stamina since it's a big-&#! shield, rather than a sword, that's doing all the blocking- maybe by 50% less stamina blocking? Which could be counteracted by having an increase cost in stamina when the warframe runs?

 

Idk, all I know is that the shield needs tweaking for it to actually BE a shield...

[unmog]

Definitely should have some emphasis on blocking or deflecting considering its the first sword with a shield. Needs more damage too though. Hoping it gets a buff somewhere, too awesome looking to be compared to a skana.

also a small dagger that shoots a fire blade and a tiny shield made of fire and metal sheets costs 10 stam a swing >.<

Also, I think Venka finishers should do more damage than other weapons

With the shield on your arm, the fact that it cannot block anything unless actively deployed is puzzling.  An innate deflection rate would give it added defensive potential even as an off-weapon.

go to community hot topics, there s a vote on silva mechanics this week

[Ishki88]

If they add these mechanics then it'll open up a new can of worms. 

 

If that's the case then any weapon that is made from "Ether" should pass through shield/armor and go straight to flesh.

 

Edit:  Lore wise I believe they were meant to cut threw anything and also do high damage to flesh.  Pre-DMG 2.0 they were armor ignore to make their lore justifiable.
