Pulling out a shield while knocked down.

Post by Qosta420 »

As a blader I think it is a completly unfair for somone to be able to pull out a shield while knocked down. Its realy unfair to the bicheon class. I dont have problem with dual weaponing or anything else for that matter I just personaly think its unfair. I mean what can a blader / swordsman do to compensate when he gets Knocked back or Stunned to even out this imballance? nothing. yeah so its unfair. If your a true legit player you wont use this unfair tactic.

Opinions?

I don't really see it as unfair. As a blader, you have a shield, and can block. So isn't it unfair to other bladers that you don't put it away when you get knocked down? o.O

of course its a tactic. but it pretty much weakens KD to the point where it cant even compare to the comprable skills of stun and kb that other builds have. so it devaluates any build that consistantly uses a shield.

no because they use a shield consistantly as part of thier build. no reason they would have to put away gear that your previously using.

no because potions are avalible to everyone. using potions does not devaluate the power of another build.

hmm.. i don't think its unfair at all due to the fact that Euro's are OP as hell with their crits and such. So with that being said, pulling is shield is called survivability.. Having a shield while you are down keeps you alive maybe for that extra little bit to help you win that pvp or whatnot.

Why shouldn't you be able to use all the gear that is available to you? Another question, would you find it unfair for a 2h warrior to pull out a shield during a fight? o.O I mean, the shield is a consistent part of their build, right?

Knockdown from a blader has a higher success rate compared to a stun execution from a glaivier. While you are upset a knockdowned character is blocking some of your stabs (shield switch), you are actively blocking all of their attacks with your ever equipped shield. Just for kicks, as a blader you could try pvping without a shield.

All I have to say is:

If the game allows it, it's NOT unfair.

If that was unfair then snow shield would be unfair because you cant remove it from other people, having holy word would be unfair because a warlock wouldn't like that and so on.

What I think that should be fixed (and I heard it will be fixed) is casting fire shield (the thing that makes you imune) and the buf stays on after the shield is removed but still... if the game allows it and everyone can use it I supose it's fair.

I think being unfair is when only some (not some builds, i mean some people) can do certain things, by that I mean abusing bugs of the game.

In real life, you can use your shield to block the attack when you fall. So there is no reason you can't. Blader has bleed+impotent+divion+fear+dull+... it's very fair

1-u have Blocking Rate increasing passives.. in other words, "ur shield is better than thiers"
2-some buffs are lost in some classes when u switch to shield (eg:warrior's warcry)
3-u have shields on all the time while they cant.
4-dont complain about thier stuns.. they dont have kds like u.
5-i actually loled at the "if u are legit" part..

swordsmen are actually one of the best builds in the game due to thier ability to hold a shield while doing massive damage.. NO OTHER class can do this if u think about it. even warlocks who do damage close to s/s nukers holding a shield rely on DOTs maily not nukes and are far more fragile than u are..
nothing is unfair about the bitcheon class if u ask me..

Um... Bladers are neat, I have one on Troy. I know for a fact though, that they are weak compared to a Warlock who knows what he is doing. xP In fact, any str class is weak against a Warlock that knows what he is doing.

The way they should do it is simple. If you are chinese and do not have at least 1 level mastery within the bicheon line, you shouldn't be able to switch to a shield.

riiiight. cuz u know, when your being knocked on ur ass, instead of getting up, the 1st thing u think about is opening your pack and taking out your shield, then blocking an attack.

do you ever think befor you talk?
