Talk:Burning Shield

Shield Bash, with kd replaced with burning! --Lann 17:15, 9 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Since Shield Bash is essentially unlinked, you could even use them both as a P/W. And then use Glowing Signet and Awe. Heh. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:28, 9 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Wow.... I have GOT to try that! However, wouldn't Awe be kind of a waste if it's a melee attack skill used? They probably wouldn't be using many spells if so --Gimmethegepgun 17:32, 9 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Azn QQ's when they can't use Return y'know :p [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:33, 9 August 2007 (CDT)


 * I don't think a competent person would have trouble timing Return while dazed to not have it interrupted. Also, how often do you see a melee attacker with Return? THe only people that use it are casters --Gimmethegepgun 08:41, 10 August 2007 (CDT)

This skill is very tempting, but shield bash has the added ability of disabling and KD'ing the foe. If i had to pick between the two, Shield Bash would be better, it certainly teachs sins with one lead attack to spend 20-30 seconds waiting for it to recharge or to prevent dual attacks from screwing you over. (Horns of the Ox comes to mind, it would be highly ironic to see the sin getting KD'd) While it is very good to have both of the Shield skills, a stance maybe be a better choice. On the other hand, a person with burning shield and prehaps other condition skills, may make the attacker think again, knowing the human psyche. The bottom line is, to disrupt them and disable or to disrupt and make them change target. To entrophy, most people except casters will use siphon speed or dash over return. Return is used almost exclusively by monks. Flechette 23:11, 10 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Eh, it was just an example. Point was that you could use this with Awe+Glowing Signet since they're both in Leadership too, and no need for any Spear Mastery that way... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 13:54, 11 August 2007 (CDT)
 * How would you damage casters then >.> Rangers could even hit you. --Lann 16:21, 13 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Trash skill as 0 spec Shield bash PWNS this junk. --193.77.142.57 13:03, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Bug
Not a bug... this is a skill


 * Yes, it is a bug, because it's a skill with no activation time, so it should activate like a stance does --Gimmethegepgun 11:39, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
 * No. It's not a bug. It's a skill. Much like dolyak signet, it functions after you finish your last action. It is not a Stance. --Lann 13:31, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
 * But look at Shield Bash. It is a Skill with no activation time (and in fact this is practically the same thing as it) but it activates regardless of game factors (activating another skill, knocked down, etc) --Gimmethegepgun 16:09, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
 * no, as shield bash or a riposite is just a way you use a weapon/shield, to set your shield on fire/make it cause fire would take 100% of your concentration. point is, not all skills are the same. Take some skills with different aftercasts to others, they are not bugs, its intentional. &mdash; ~ Soqed Hozi ~  09:11, 1 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Somehow I think it would take all of your concentration to make a riposte at someone behind you while you're in midswing at the guy in front of you --Gimmethegepgun 13:32, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Lame
Should we put a Lame tag on this? That's just to long a recharge to be any use. I think the following improvments should be made: and/or --Lann 11:38, 3 September 2007 (CDT)
 * counts as an action
 * doesn't disable skill that is blocked
 * doesn't last as long as shield bash
 * change recharge to 10 seconds
 * add the effect of disabling the skill
