I mean ur probably only saying this because they take like what, 5 minutes to regen?
Make it less than a minute.
Yeah Iām delusional so thats fair
Iām not responding to the other points because they are quite literally irrelevent to the change; stuff like blocking power from gems by itself has never been an issue (and likely never will be).
But sure, iāll go and respond to the points:
This change would essentially just make the war shield a copy paste of the Iron Shield; its suppose to be a higher level weapon used by classes that can also use the moves on the weapon, hence the change.
Shields with higher blocking power also take more damage per-hit (shields take the damage they block, and then remove it directly from the durability of the shield) This is also why shields with higher blocking power generally have a higher durability, since the actual durability drains much faster.
If you want to speak about the enchants, we can. The only enchant (tier 2) thatās actually worth running on a shield is reinforced, since it reduces the amount of damage the shield takes, while also increasing the durability by 45%, but it also reduces the blocking power by 0.1x. On the other hand, you can use armored, which DECREASES the durability by 33%, and increases the blocking power by 0.2x. Overall, armored makes the shield break a lot faster.
This change is pointless, since you would effectively be better off using a shield that is on-level (shocker, almost like the change that was added does basically this)
We donāt. People like you do it to yourselves, with an absolute refusal to learn why we make the changes we do. Any explanation will be throw out the window instantly, and instead of trying to learn more, you will argue more.
Itās a self fulfilling prophecy that you even did yourself, by continuing to argue, and ignore the ENTIRE point of my previous message. Yes, I used some colorful language, because its the only way there might even be a CHANCE that you actually read it and see the point.
Which, apparently you didnāt read anyways, and just instantly NPC agroād again.
Agreed, except if youāre running high agility, you actually can! With a high agility high blocking power set, you can effectively turtle strat, and then run away until the shield regens.
Nothing got gutted. Not a single stat was changed.
The only thing that the change did, was prevent classes from using something that they honestly never should have been able to use from the start, given that itās outside of their stat point range.
Once again with the NPC agro. Nothing we do are going to change the minds of people like you, who only seem to complain no matter the change.
Anyways, I explained everything, now have fun proceeding to read NONE OF IT, and then still be angry!

i mean i rlly dont think its a better way to describe it, its one of these time where bteam braincells just die, seriously why are they doing good changes and suddenly they drop the worse thing ever
but the problem is that the warshield gives too much power (well blocking power) right, bc if the warshield was a bad shield then nobody would complain that hybrids can use it, even then if u run 2 weps with all the stuff u need for dmg (like grabs, tp, range abilities) then u can still run the shield, itās the same problem, it literally fixed nothing, instead it just made hybrids unable to use it
for example
scimitars
flying pheonix
that range move that i keep forgetting the name
tp
shining cycle
staff
piercing gale
grab
sparrow thrust
fots
now sure this might not be the best loudout but its somewhat similar to what i use, mostly bc i forgot to use my ptd, but even then using 2 weps is enough to kill someone and u could still use the shield, the problem isnt fixed
This is mainly just a nerf to using atlantean shield and ravenna war shield use on non weapon builds since those both would now require 200 weapon stat to use.
I think my main issue is that this pretty much disproportionately affects most hybrid weapon builds compared to the ones that would actually abuse it like savant. If regular weapon hybrids wanted to use the ravenna war shield it would take them until level 168 at the earliest, 200 if theyāre going for equal weapon/other stat req and 250 at the absolute latest, and this isnāt assuming how long it may take for savant.
This also isnāt assuming how this could affect future shields with much higher weapon requirements (such as the next set of higher requirement weapons coming this update), as it could completely bar hybrids from using the best available shields until a much higher level cap.
I may be wrong about this though since I donāt generally use shields for the most part
Are you retarded? The weapon quite literally is unchanged EXCEPT for on classes that arenāt even suppose to be using them at their level, as seen by the fact they cant even use the first skill on the weapon.
Iām not even going to bother adressing any of the other ramble points you said aswell, since thereās no point. Once savants actually unlock the first skill on the shield, theyāll be able to use it, and that goes for all other classes too.
We need skyhallā¦ weapon skill showcaseā¦ the AA thingā¦ ANY patch note with new stuff, to save this thread.

yup
the only people with a use for the shield cant use it anymore till later when there are gonna be better shields, so yes it got nerfed bc the only usage it had its no longer here
Was this always bolded?
honestly its 2:30 am so im rlly just gonna responde later
Sail stretch/distortion was not fixed in this patch
WHY IS IT THAT ALL THE BUG FIXES THAT MAJORLY BENEFIT THE GAME ARE HELD BACK FOR FULL RELEASE 
every single other shield in question:
yeah
ya they arent that good, that or the warshield is just straight up better, isnt that against the bteam idea that rarer weap > better?
Ayeee what the hell :3
Using slurs isnāt okay, under any circumstances, nuh uh uh!
Anyways, I just want keybindsā¦ back to the abyss I go.
