Blocking

[Alexia]

I was playing a bit after a long break (this game is like a drug sometimes) and going on my archer. as noobish as i am, i was too slow to change weapons for meleeing (im a 2hander archer so no pussy QQ here pls) and thought it would be cool for archers and xbowmen to switch to a "art" of melee mode, with this mode you can block with the bow/xbow a few hits (3-4) and after this it brakes like a shield. what do you guys think?

Nah... I think this has been suggested multiple times before and never got too big support from community

Are you sure about that? I would be surprised if this would not have the support from the majority.
I mean, why would you be against it if the bow just breaks after 3 blocks and cannot be used to attack with? Besides, breaking stuff is fun.

But I guess it's just not that easy to implement. But it can't be too hard either.
I mean, you could replace the bow with a polearm (bow model) as you switch weapon mode.
When the "bow" is about to break you can replace it with a shield (bow model).

I know nothing about modding but it should be possible to implement somehow

I support this as long as it could break bows.

Otherwise it would just be another horrible good way to kite.

Shooting, blocking, running, shooting, blocking etc. without changing weapons
