Hi, I’ve never understood why kruber’s sword and shield (SS) has only 120 block angle yet his mace/shield (MS) and all other shield combos (like for Bardin) have 180 block angle… It isn’t like the SS has a higher dodge distance or dodge count or something to make up for this. It is just worse for n…

I never noticed the 120 push/block angle on the sword/shield. But I do believe that the sword/shield is the worst out of the 3 shield weapons, by far - that would definitely be part of the cause though I’m sure. First off, let’s look at the niche the sword/shield fills (maybe someone who uses it m…

You basically copied my recent thread: [image] Kruber's shielded weapons Feedback What purpose do you think each weapon have?, sword&shield, mace&shield. And can someone answer me, why all weapons have 90/180 degree effective block angle (daggers 40 degree excluded), but …

Honestly I prefer the sword and shield over all the others. Have you played it since the changes in the big balance beta? It got a lot better. The armor pen on push stab and charge 2 are excellent, especially with headshots. The changes to the patterns mean you can do a push stab into charge 2 for q…

I actually think the mace/shield is the worst of the three. The sword/shield has a little better AP (although now the mace/shield has a decent push atk) I believe and most importantly, it has the shield bash first just like the axe/shield. The hammer/shield and mace/shield have the shield bash secon…

I’d confidently say S+S the strongest of the shield weapons. A+S is a bit behind, but that’s mostly because dwarf doesn’t really have any talents or skills that enhance it like Kruber does for S+S. M+S and H+S types are likely candidates for being the worst weapons in the game. Particularly hammer,…

[image] If you focus on the blue effective block angle, you can make it out, all so slightly. And if you have any trust in mods, here is the ‘Armoury’ entry. [image]

Before Armory mod, I thought that S&S have 135 degree block angle, because it seemed like it on picture.

Oh yeah, I’m not saying OP is wrong, just that I’ve never noticed it. I’m not sure that increasing the block angle would make any noticeable difference in-game.

IMO the shields are as good as their light attacks. Which, I know is odd b/c so much of their power in in charged attacks and pushstabs, but I would rate the shields from best to worst: Axe, Sword, Mace/Hammer, and i would rate the usefulness of their lights in the same order, and I dont think thats…

The idea of having the shields continue to block to some extent even while you’re using light attacks is a great one. That would make them so much more useful. And it kinda makes sense anyway. Even while you’re using your weapon, your shield is still there and could theoretically protect you (albeit…
