-FrostByte- Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Why doesn't it give bonus armor? maybe 100? 200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatolius Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 because why would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaru Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Shields only will help you if you use them properly. Just holding a shield doesn't make you more damage resistant. You actually need to block the blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)kiddplay13 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Hey does it give infinite stamina while taking hits, i need to know before i decide to build it when U14 comes to PS4 (lulz) EDIT: Not necessarily infinite stamina, but like when you're blocking hits with any other weapon it drains your stamina so i was wondering does the Sword and Shield drain your stamina while blocking hits Edited July 19, 2014 by (PS4)kiddplay13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RespectTheInternet Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The shields more like a prop than anything T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-FrostByte- Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) make the weapons uniqueeee! you can bash and throw and skewer with your shield, but doesn't really "shield" you unless you are blocking Edited July 19, 2014 by n0lyfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I agree that the shield should offer some kind of protection or bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oranji Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Placing a bet that a new stance mod will follow with names being "Spartan" or "Myrmidon" idk. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSp33d Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It should offer higher defenses from the front when equipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazyflame Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Why should it give more armor just by equipping it!? That's illogic! It's like giving more damage just by grabbing a gun. You have to use it! Maybe a reduction on stamina usage (since you need less movement to place it correctly to deflect a blow) but nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReizoRyuu Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The shield should just block whatever hits it at all times, even when you aren't actively blocking, I mean it is a shield afterall; kinda like xing cai's shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastikator2 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It gives you 100% damage reduction when you block with it, how is complete and total damage reduction not high enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandyDragon Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Its basically the heat sword under a different cosmetic apperance. Big fire AOE Average swing speed Fire element average damage Its not bad, but I wouldn't waste my plat on it. Few clan mates did, they like it but didn't feel the price of entry was worth it.

Loswaith Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) A shield is used to parry (its very effective in doing so), it doesnt give inherent defence alone. A dagger is very bad at parrying unless you are exceptionally skilled, even then its going to have a hard time blocking bullets.

Mastikator2 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 you can equip a dagger and it will do the same i want something more for equiping a "shield" and sword You should be allowed to make attacks while blocking, not just given free armor for a shield.
