If a player is too close to the boss, the boss slam will still hurt the player through a shield.

If a player isn’t looking at a boss when they’re in this small forward cone(similar to that of a dagger), the slam will bypass a shield.

Feels like this is intentional. Shield should not be able to block overhead slams such as this one.

[image] Jaffawer: Feels like this is intentional. It’s not. It was changed early in the WoM betas to make shields more viable. It was also a greatly requested feature for shields to help make them more viable.

[image] Jaffawer: Shield should not be able to block overhead slams such as this one. See the 2.0 patch notes: [image]Winds of Magic - Patch 2.0 - Patch Notes Shields Changed so attacks from bosses don’t go through block for shield weapons, but instead pushes the shield user and reduces stamina.

Thank you. That is the note I was looking for. :slight_smile: Couldn’t find it so I thought it may have been an early beta patch note, but didn’t think it was.

I know about this change, I was in the beta, but that does not change the possibility that the hit through block on this particular boss move is intentional.
