Shield Bash

[Quyxz]

I'm cleric and I have bard sub. But my bard stays at lvl 20, because I'm not wanting to save more SP for it.
Is it worth getting lvl 10 warrior for shield bash? What does the skill exactly do and is a lvl 10 skill still usefull at lvl 40 and higher?
Thanks for any info.

[BloodyBlade]

Well, I have it, and its so damn usefull
It knockbacks your enemies, and has a 80% chance to succeed(correct me if I'm wrong), it can also add dull status, so they will move slower.
Its very good at pvp, and a life saver in pve.
I have a rogue/cleric, and the shield skill is so usefull =)

[Quyxz]

Thanks for the info.
Does the 80% still count on high lvl mobs?
I guess the dull is lvl 1 so that will not affect a lvl 40+ mob much ?

[vermillion]

still 80% for any lvl mob. Lv1 dull won't affect higher lvl mobs that much.

Still, I've "dulled" enough people in pvp that are around my lvl.

I dont really mind dull, as long as I can knockback people.

Ohyeah, NEVER knockback a bow/xbow ^_^

[Quyxz]

and how long is the recasting time of the skill ?

[BloodyBlade]

and how long is the recasting time of the skill ?

If I'm right, 3~4 seconds.
Also, I dont really mind the cooldown, when the enemy gets back to you you can cast shield bash again x)

why does every one ignore "Clamor" which binds the enemy to the ground & it has 80% chance success !!!!!!!!!!!

if you don't know clamor is in teh bard tree & it's a ranged attack with very fast casting time.

Why do you want to have clamor when you can have heaven flash from cleric tree?

atm you say, that ur too lazy to farm sp...

when ur lvl90, you might be angry that you got low lvl warrior skills

90bard 90cleric much better than 80bard 90cleric 10warrior

[JoyFax]

10 warrior is so easy to curst heart it out...

Yes. add the shield bash, besides its always fun to bash people in pvp

well ill never hit 90 and ill never lvl bard up to my current lvl

and yes, i can use some cleric skill to bind enemies. But I don't use it xD

Bard skills are worth it..They are stronger than cleric skills (except offering ofc) and overheal is usefull for buffed up wizzies etc but ok. I would farm a bit for bard but that's just me : )

I agree, Bard at cap is best ong powerleveler.

Talking of euro without any sub, i think Bard would be better as pwlvl.

They have 100% speed and wont use any hp pot or mp pot (if u use mp regen skills) so if you take 2 harps you can go for really long time

Also the nukes + booming wave combinaison works really well in pwlvl. you can aggro pt mobs with the nukes and then hit them all hard with booming.

but yeah wizard is probably as good or so with his insane dmg.

But bards would cost A LOT less for the pwlvler No mp pots, no speed pots.

for the cleric with shield
knock back gives you time to charge your attacks
sometimes with mobs with phs attack you knock them back at right time
their attack is wasted
knocking back also gives you time for pot cool time to recharge

plus it is fun in CTF and PVP
you just know when it happens to someone, they are saying @##!$%

do you need a one-handed sword equipped to used shield thrash?

just the shield

Code: Select all

made this at 80 cap, using shield bash.

[pr0klobster]

Adding my two cents in, I still am keeping 10 in warrior. I pvp'd some of my friends last night and it is very useful for interrupting a nuke or something. Not to mention it gets them away from you and gives you enough time to start an offering, less chance of them interrupting you.

All you need is the shield to bash 'em.

A little off-topic, bard>nuker at higher level, the cast times are much faster. I can ks a lot of bots

Only thing left to decide is which skillset stays at 80, cleric or bard.

Yeah you would use mp pots but speed isn't needed if you have a nice hill at ongs for example. And the killspeed is higher because of the bigger AoE I think so that would make up for the pot cost IMO

I was waiting for this, one of the better pvp movies. =)


Ohyeah, and no moving march needed for powerlvl at ongs, if you start moving you are at a wrong spot ^_^

Shield bash on clerics or warlocks is fine, just make sure you know when to use it in a party. I've had clerics in the past who shield bash and end up transferring the aggro to other INTs, killin them. xD It also gets pretty messy with shield bash.

[Redd]

Its an extremely useful skill especially if you enjoy pvp and beating the shit out of ppl with offering. You drop to 10% of your hp as offering hits, but they can still get a shot into you. Good combo is shield trash+offering..makes it impossible for them to retaliate, unless the trash doesn't kb or they block offering..and which point ur fairly screwed.

o yeah, if my offering gets blocked I always feel fuucked xD

But healing cycle, then offering and then immediately shield bash is a nice idea, if offering gets blocked.
