Teralis Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Whats the best offense and defense weapon shield combo. Sword shield, flail shield, mace shield, other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbox Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 umm depends who you are depending on fighting... but since i'd assume you'd only use sheilds against melee and blademsters is the hardest melee for warriors i'd say whip/shield. i'm making the assumption that you're playing a warrior since most other classes would simply opt for a polearm over shield.

Pali Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Always been a polearm fan myself... But that's from playing too many paladins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Refer to the wiki for 100% verification. But I think it's mace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celerity Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Never make the mistake of choosing a weapon combo that is effective against many other combos. Choose a combo that will be effective against who you are going to be likely to fight. If you are in Knight, your choice should be quite different than if you are in WM. That said, you may want to think in terms of weapon combos for fighting casters, as shield lore is specifically for use against other heavy melee fighters. A shield (with lore) is still pretty much worthless against all casters and not worth the loss of offense against most hybrids and rogues. Whip/shield may be the standard goto option, but it is a waste against somebody like Thulgan, for instance. You'd be better with an exotic or some weapon with a poison oprog.

Sandbox Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 thats an interesting line of thought. i dont think i'd ever want to trade fired weapons as a knight but as a warmaster shield mastery could be pretty nice, that being said i wouldnt expect to use it alot fighting savants...

Mindflayer Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Certain weapons trumph other weapon types. It's not always about using a weapon that another class is unfamilar with. Keep this in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
