A good block shield can be real satisfying. Nothing like blocking a magic attack. Blocking a Mini-Boss' spell is even more satisfying. And when your shield doesn't work, Absorb.

Block is really the only reason I decided to continue on the sword-and-board fridge path rather than switching to DW. Two good weapons can provide some sweet damage output and high accuracy, but you can't parry nearly enough as you could block with a good shield.

It's dual-wielding for me.

Methinks that Tenboro doth know this, and 'tis the reason why Tower Shields doth be so rare. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Is there no love for staffs?

I've been staying away from Towers because of the huge Interference they give. I have enough problems trying to cast Silence as it is and I haven't found a Tower with much better stats than my Kite anyway.

bucklers ftw.

NOW I see just why 2handers are so good. And bad. Sure enough, Domino clears the field just nicely (on cake) and procing Bleed on several mobs is just that good... But I do miss A LOT! And, thes mobs starts to hurt me... I know, my equip just that sucks, so until I find better gear, I will stick with more reliable 1h/shield for Arenas.

Your 'to' should've been 'too'. Just something I'm noticing with almost 2 days of no sleep. What I just posted is in the bazaar. Less accuracy, massive primary stats (if you can use them).

what have you done the past 2 days?

Yeahhhhh....there's now a certain someone who I want to die a slow, horrible death because I envy his sweet sweet weapon so badly.


........Oh, wait, Iced Zero, I wasn't talking about you, not at all.

In fact, I'll express mail a box of fine pastries to your Real World home address as a peace offering -and you won't have to check them for poison or radioactive material or anything. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Damn son... I think I'll pass on showing my collection haha.

Well, after all the updates, I still use every weapon style, although dual wield is used least.

Does anyone still use the 1h + shield style?

I have a great shield but it just doesn't seem to be up to par as a style compared to 2h or dual, especially after overstrike got nerfed.

I'd imagine that there still are, but ya with the boost to offhand parry for dual, you can basically get as much parry as you had block before.

Yeah as is, it is about he same, except that dualers get higher damage and they can mix procs. Block can effect magic and parry can't, but that's what absorb is for so you rarely get anything out of the difference.

It doesn't really effect me, I use all styles so I just switch to the one that works best at the moment, just wanted to see if anyone had any redeeming reasons to use 1h+shield.
