Mace/Hammer & Shield: bash attack is still bugged

[souI23]

@Boz

There’s a delay after pushing with mace/hammer and shield which seems to be the issue here, makes push into bash and push into weapon swap less fluid than with other shield weapons.

Trying spamming push with the different shields to see the difference.

Exactly! The problem becomes more evident after a push.

@alsozara

I mean right now H/M+S is probably the strongest shield weapon by a good margin (oh how the times have changed lol), so that seems like a fair balancing factor. I’d say mace + shield is probably the best weapon for FK right now, it’s also a top pick for GK.

I really think it’s fine and I haven’t had any issue at all getting the shield bash off in tough situations (even with no attack speed bonuses).

It’s a bug, look here. Marked as acknowledged.

Anyway, apart this, I disagree that M&S is the strongest shield. S&S has more damage vs hordes. A&S has more armors damage and its bash is even faster than a standard bash. Without talking about about BS&S and Elf Shield, wich clearly maintin their pros.

Anyway, if Fatshark started to think that M&S is too strong, there would be better ways to balance them… a malus on the bash, one of the fundamental shields’ features, seems to me silly.

@Incandescent

not necessarily a bug since I didn’t adjust for animation times when shifting the heavies around

Fatshark might take a different view on it however

I’m not sure I have understood what you wrote… but it should be a bug, look the link I posted above.
