-Onyx-Phalian Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I believe that Sword and Shield weapons need help. Not in the form of a new stance. Final Harbinger is a very fun and useful stance. But what I mean is with the 90% blocking. You see, the Shield and Sword tie with the Nikana for the highest block rate. That's right, a katana somehow blocks just as much as a large shield. 2 things need to be done to make the Shield and Sword weapon class stand out. 1) The nikana line needs to have its block rate lowered, yes, even Nikana Prime. I believe all weapons should be viable and there is no reason to use a Shield and Sword when the Nikana out damages and out blocks them. 2) Give them a gimmick. DE have stated that they may be looking back to pre-existing weapons to give abilities to. I believe Shield and Sword should have a chance to deflect ballistic attacks back to the attacker. This would give them a new style, a reason for people to use them in higher level missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
