Thanks - so there is some tradeoff in terms of the avoiding bash skills for increasing db.

Take a deliberate unblocked/dodged/parried weapon damage hit to interupt a bash.Rhollor wrote:Not sure what you mean.
Instead of taking a bash you take a melee round???
Or you attack their weapon to stop bash but take some dmg???
You are recently returned so you might not know that you can "shieldblock" if you have a shield and shield parry pracced. This runs a timer during which you have a chance of blocking bash and charges.
I guess that's the main difference maker. It's about where people have their lines drawn, I guess.Chase wrote:It pretty much kills any urge to pk because it just shows how someone is there for the number on their 'score' than entertaining pk.
So I guess I was just dreaming when I saw you trying to flee charge me with Manfried the other day? Only I got away.Chase wrote: Im sure I could pull off fleecharge even easier than it is to fleestab someone, but I don't plan on it. It would be pretty ruthless on my part and I personally don't feel I would have deserved the kill.
Are you joking? I attacked you NE of FD and had no idea Manfried was even online. I saw him on you and went into FD and rented, because I didnt want to ruin both of your pk. I spent maybe one round in the same room as you. Honestly dude I don't know what personal vendetta you have against me but take it easy. No need to get all bent out of shape over it.Blark wrote:So I guess I was just dreaming when I saw you trying to flee charge me with Manfried the other day?

Great going Chase, really I admire your honesty.

Shield block seems to be a little too successful. I have prolly used it to the same affect that was used on me earlier, but after getting defeated so utterly by a thief just because 8/10 bashes were blocked (maybe not 100% on the numbers...) it seems a little unbalanced. I'm not saying the block % is bad though. From using shieldblock I have a couple suggestions:
1. Successfully blocking should lag you a little similar to the basher's lag.
2. I don't think you should be able to keep reentering shieldblock even before it has finished its timer, so that there is no lapse between blocks.
3. I think "lowering" your shield after a run timer should lag you briefly
Dunno what anyone else things but just a thought, since dodge was upped a bit and this just gives another hurdle to get over 1v1 with a dodge shield user.
