« on: March 26, 2014, 03:31:50 pm »
Hello lads !
I've been playing this mod for 3 years and I played with every class.
Most of the time I played as a shielder and tried every possible builds with it.
Nowadays I see lots of shielders playing so wrong so I am preparing this guide.
There are three ways to play non-hybrid infantry shielders
-Agiwhore archer chaser
-Tanky bruiser to be targeted by enemies and creating opportunities to your infantry
-Balanced all around disrupter.
First thing I have to mention that your main job is not to kill the enemy !
In this game 2handed hero wannabees have the most damage output,after that polearms follow up so your main job is to create opportunities to your teammates who uses those shit.
Although knockdown has been reduced i still suggest you guys to use high weight blunt 1h weapons(Knockdowned enemy is easy target for you and your teammates) and a long,cheap sword to deflect cav (Also to use in 1v1 situations,i'll come to that.)
(i.e: Winged mace + Long Arming Sword)
What are your main objectives as shielder ?
2 Epic weapons of shielder :
Don't underestimate Iron Flesh skill.
Play defensive !
What to do on 1v1 situations ?
How to deal with backpedallers ?
Strat battles
This is my way of playing productive shielder,you may agree or disagree . Thanks for reading and i hope this helps someone out.
