S&S is a joke of epic proportions

1. You already used all the other weapon choices way to much

2. You bought a game with so many weapon choices and you don’t wanna miss any of it.

3. You wanna blame your losses on the weapon you carrying.

Well at least this are the reasons why i use it…
No seriously i also think the weapon isn’t really good. Yes you can support your team by CC’ing the horde but i also think you could just kill the horde with an other weapon. In my opinion its not really you who supports the team, its more the team that supports you. Why do i think that? In my experience sword and shield is fine as long as the run is smooth and nothing goes wrong. But as soon as things go south you gonna be the one with the biggest problems. Your team gets seperrated by an ambush you will very likely be the one who has the worst time. They all can kite the horde with medium/good mobility while being able to hit trate because of dps/cleave while you will have a hard time with bad mobility underaverrage dps/cleave, low ability to hit trade and you can’t even see *** cause shield blocks your sight. And pray for god there is no hook rat on the way for you (I hate dodging them with shields). Mix that with your still not that good damage against armor and you can perfectly blame your death on the weapon (See reason 3 why to use s&s). Ok im exaggerating a bit here but i really think shields in generall still need some love. Thats why i make threads like this.

Shield's again

While i think shields are viable for legend especially with the last buffs, i also think they are far from perfect. Low mobility with low reach makes them still a pain to use for me. I think they are fine as long as you have enough support by your team. But as soon as things go south i always wish i had taken a different weapon. I really think shields should have a mechanic that makes them unique and makes them play differently. So here are a few suggestions. Everyone knows you can cancel a…

i assume it’s used for ultra tanky builds that focus on being very defensive, but i’m not that kinda player.

actually you are way less tanky with shields then with other weapons in generall. Main reason is the slow temp health generation. If i take mercenarie with two handed sword i can take way more hits than as footknight with sword and shield. Also you very likely get hit more often with sword and shield cause of low mobility.

If you were actually talking about dual swords just ignore this…
