Shield Technique Series

So I hear most people saying it's pretty useless and all.. I can see the obvious disadvantage from it, but.. let's just say that you do have the SP to waste on it.. Isn't it good for that pesky Flying dragon series that STR glaives use? (I'm talking about in a 1v1, duel, etc.) Since most of the time, it's their first attack. Oh and also, if the char was a full str blader.. would it eat the MP like a burger? I'm not too familiar how it works.

Probably isn't any good for any other situation I can think of, but just curious.

I tried it with my deleted blader, cant say there was any significant dmg reduction (I lvled it to lvl8). So I REALLY wont suggest to get it, even if you have spare sp :!:

Self-Heal is one of my most helpful skills ( im pure int) it takes like no mana and heals about 90 hp, i can recover in a second with it. Great for pure int, bad for pure str.

my big problem with this game is, its reacting too slow.
like
if i want to attack someone, to score only one hit (for fun whatever). so i press alt, press the skill. my toon is charging in, attacks with the skill. fine
but it keeps hitting the guy.
so. right when the skill is beeing performed i click away to stop futhurer attacks. but my char is still hitting for good 3-5 times before it realises i want him to stop. i hate it
also when i change targets my char is standing still like a dumbass for like a second or just for a half. its not much, but i dont like it

so. back to the topic

i tryed this bloody fan thingie at white spiders. it seems like a similar skill to the sheild technique.
activate it, take less dmg from a powerful attack, deactivate, attack. sound good but it just dont works
i have thrown my glaive at a spider, activated the bloody spear. blocked some of the spiders dmg. then i want to deactivate it, but its still on.spider attacks again.. ok, the skill stops, i smash my attack skill like mad, but my toon takes his time, standing there for another haf second.
finnaly! he runs up to the spider and starts attacking. great. took 2 hits for reduces dmg instead of one for full dmg. grrr

The real Hinamorii would never say Answer me now!!! Mad Mad Mad Mad.

I think you guys got it all wrong... or maybe i'm just a total noob.... but the way I see it it is not and should not try to be used to block a single attack.

The way I see it Its used in tanking situations. Example you got a giant on you bearly keeping your hp up with pots then all the sudden 2 adds pop outta no where and u watch as you slowly wither away ... nooooooooooooo /cry... then you remembered wait a sec I have my shield series.... so u pop your shield skill until you get to full hp kill 1 add quick.. shield up and heal again kill the 2nd add and finish off the giant.... well in my dreams at least... shug

Chou I was wondering since u have bloody fan... does that skill only absorb magical damage or physical as well??... cause I know fire wall is bugged and it absorbs everything.

Oooh, that makes sense.. something for your pots to catch you back up to full HP eh? Maybe useful if you get crit hit three times in a row. Thanks for the tip :wink:

no way anyone has that fast reflex to be able to ' turn on turn off heal heal smack attack 1, hit monster 1, hit monster 5 from bheind, turn on ' useless skill " ( the one you guys are worshipping on about ), and hmm? i dun know what next but honestly i dun think ANYONE in reality will have that kinda reflex to control it properly >.< and i hmm this game lags as we all know, it DOES take split second or a whole second for it to stop doing what ever it's doing then another split second or a whole second to start doing what ever you commanded it to, you would lag, but the thing your trying to defend against will not, they'll still jump you no matter who you are .... therefore = useless
