PrVonTuckIII Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 According to the Devstream, the damage they deal will increase with the amount you block. Depending on how this is balanced, I can finally pick up my suckish but dope-looking SaA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyDevil Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'll finally consider putting a catalyst on Silva & Aegis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shut Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 As hyped as I am for everything on the devstream, the last thing that I wanted to hear about was a change to blocking that doesn't address how useless it is for Daggers/Whips/Tonfas/Nunchuks. I mean, at a 35% reduction, you might as well just never block against high-level enemies since you're going to be oneshotted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 thank god, right? Silva & Aegis is one of the best looking weapons in game, but suffers from damage that makes it almost as bad as the Machetes. as for my Ack & Brunt crit build.. well, I didn't NEED the extra damage, but since you're so kind.. *evil laugh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a magical space ninja, do you REALLY think "blocking" the majority of the incoming damage with a DAGGER makes any sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketec Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 If the buff is only for the next hit and isn't substantial... any other high damage melee to hack and slash large swarms will still be better in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you mean as effectively as you can block bullets one by one by swinging a bigass hammer around? Please don't bring realism into this. If things were realistic, then hammers would have virtually no bullet-blocking capabilities. Edited October 8, 2016 by SortaRandom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find there's little reason to block when parkour is, in my experience, more effective at reducing damage. Even if you have an 85% block, you still need to sprint to the target. I only do it if it's low level because it looks cool with certain weapons. Hopefully whilst looking into changing the Sword and Shield block system they'll take a deeper look and we'll have blocking 3.0.

(XBOX)Ivan of Jupiter Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Meanwhile I'm still hoping for a legit sword and shield. I mean S&A are neat, but tacky.

AandOE Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I wonder if the Ack & Brunt's augment will either a) become its innate effect, or b) get enhanced due to the sword 'n board buff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
