Why oh why is this thread even still going guys?1h/shield is in a good place currently.2h/polearms are in a good place currently.Archery/Xbows/throwing are all in a good place currently.Cavalry... well that will always be in a good place even if couching was the only thing you could do with it and there was only sumpter horses so meh.There's still some internal balance issues within each catagory, but compared to each other as a whole cRPG is actually in quite a nice state of balance at the moment. (Even if there's far too many projectiles in the air to call it mount and blade anymore instead of mount and pew)
This thread was pointless from the start anyway.
The problem is even if you are number 1 in NA you are still only number 467 in EU or the worst in AUS(number 17)
Get a fast shield (100 speed one) and block with it as you would with a 2h weapons (directional). Drastically decreases the chance to get hit begind your shield.
1h is fine but the only problem is see is that sometimes ill fight a 2 hander and he will use his lolstab to curve his blade behind me and kill me even tho im facing directly infront of him...its only happened a few times
even though it looks like your shield is up, that doesn't mean it's blocking...
Is there any proof to this cause it sounds like it's in your head, lol.afaik directional blocking doesn't do shit for shields. I'm sure it's how many of us block unconciously with shields anyways when we go shielder for a gen after playing our 2h/polearmers.
With proper facing I've never had this happen to me ever. It honestly sounds like a case of using a slow shield. What shield do you use by the way?Just so you know, fast shields (100 speed) will block BEFORE the shield is raised. Slow shields (61 speed) block sometime AFTER the shield is raised. I don't know where the values between those fall as far as blocking goes 'cause I've never tested. However, even though it looks like your shield is up, that doesn't mean it's blocking...
