I have been doing a considerable amount of raids against high tier dragons, as a conjurer, i do run a tower shield to protect me from troublematic situations, however, i found myself struggling at both defending and attacking at the same time, due how janky the weight system from shields and weapons is.
So, i have though of the following; A new keybind that allows the user to put the shield on their back.
By doing this, it will happen the following
- The bonus HP only is given if the shield is on your hand
- If the shield is put on your back, the weight penality will be removed or heavily reduced
- If the shield is put on your back, you no longer can use it to block
Switching between this shield stances, will display an animationg, its lenght will be based on the shield’s weight stat, heavier shields will take longer to switch, during this animation display, the player wont be able to use skills and will be slowed down, making this action to be punishable if miss-used.
