1h shield build

[Corrado_Decimo]

Up, left and right blocks all the way through the kick animation. Down block has a window where it doesn't block.

then you'll not slash after a kick... so blocking while kicking = useless? oh wait eh.. i'm noob at kickslashing.. consider it.

Even if you block while kicking, you'll still be fast enough to get a hit in

[Myltinous]

Of course if you're a decent shielder it won't be that easy to kill you, but it seems that Myltinous, to whom I was talking to, isn't any experienced in fighting with shield.

True, but you have to start somewhere.

Xant you noob.

I can confirm that Varyag WAS legendary. Back in the day there were only 2 heroes, Oberyn and Varyag. Both of them aboozed OP weapons to the max xD and had much higher levels and more money than the rest of us.

Varyag with his huscarl and 103(?) speed elite scimi with ghost range was impossible to block.. (for me)  He and Oberyn just dominated the servers for weeks on end.

Of course most people could not block properly back then, feints was the most advanced dueling trick, you could use a great axe in 1h mode from a horse, archers could become ridiculously deadly etc.. Was good times.

I wish there was more speed to 1h weapon and shield like in the old days. (if it is what the people here saying)

Just play against the archers we had back then too and you'll reconsider. Your 103 speed spammitar won't help much against a plated archer, using a warbow with bodkins, firing lightning fast homing missiles. If you come close to the guy, he pulls out a greatsword and kills you anyway.

Loads of fun XD
