Shielders lend themselves to glances because the shield reduces the damage and speed of the weapon, thus more glances.

no, shield does not reduce damage or speed [of the weapon].

the funny thing is that because of the early hit animation i can hilt slash with my GLA a lot more easily than before :)

The funny thing is that hit detection against enemies wasn't changed.

Abso-fraking-loootly. Its the most misguide fix in a while. Its a really bastard being out paced by 2hers that are hitting you with the hilt and flipping the crab for massive dmg.

I only glance on extremely shallow hits.

I have a 3/39 13sheild skill build and it doesn't glance on tincans. Are you sure your not just screwing up your foot work?

no, shield does not reduce damage or speed [of the weapon].

It is taken into account in the dmg calcs... Are your sure that it does nothing? I mean rain effects everything even if your in a building.

Bad news everybody, I got dumped :(

That "Shield" checkbox doesn't seem to do anything to damage values. I also never heard of shield decreasing damage or speed of weapons.

It doesnt. Any time I fight another sword and board user we wind up having a long glancing battle before getting glanced to death 90% of the time

I dont like playing glance glance revolution :(

Man you really must be doing something wrong... are you 1H? If so, are you glancing with cut weapons on loomed armor, because that might be the reason for a lot of your glances, in which case just take up a hammer or pick (very effective, just tested yesterday with 5 ps and iberian mace/steel pick). Other than that 1H doesn't glance that much even on extreme angles, except for the stab which seems to glance more often..

yeah i use a MW elite scimi with 6 PS and 140 wpf. it swear no matter how close or far i am from someone I will get at least 5 glances before a clean strike (if im lucky), i also notice 1h glances on me, but it still does damage

I think most of the glances still do damage. If you're sure it's not a positioning problem, then I can only think of loomed armor being the reason for your glances... (cut versus op armor looms)
