[Stats] Steel buckler

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

Its 2 high by 2 wide but its not round or square, what is it? Impossibly stupid!

Make it 3 high or I will cry.

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

There is alot more stupid about the buckler.

How can a guy, who holds this little shield infront of his belly, block arrows that go either to his head or his feet, without even moving the shield?

It is a very fast and stable shield, but something has to be done about the "forcefield" of this thing.

advantage should be: strong shield, very fast at blocking and swings to follow
disadvantage should be: almost impossible to block arrows, except if the archer aims for the shield or the shielder immediately raises or lowers the shield's position

If you look at a wielder after catching some arrows, most of them arrows don't even stick on the shield itself but in his arm.

It's not like it's a good shield I'd trust if an archer shoots me. It's fairly easy to get a foot/headshot while keeping it up.

Actually it's not that fairly easy...and no, I'm no noobarcher who doesn't know where to shoot at for such a shot

[ArchonAlarion]

Even more stupidity: Why is shield difficulty based (indirectly) on Agility?

27/12? Can't use a huscarl shield. You are not fast enough to use a huscarl shield, sorry.

lololol u twat, buckler was developed for dueling etc. it was very popular among sailors, fencers and musketeers thanks to its fast blocking performance and versatile usage in melee.

Sikhi invented em!

Anyone wonder how METAL shields explode when you hit them? They should be pretty much undestructable.

The buckler should have its place in the game but its stats should be changed drastically. If you watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8RWLxlzTiM you'll see you need a shitload of experience to even block a normal weapon like a spear. But definatly you wont be able to block ANY incoming arrow except by luck if it hits the small buckler directly. The current implementation is just wrong as you block every incoming hit and arrow. Thats only possible in Matrix slowmotion.

The forcefield should be reduced to such a small area, that you really have to point at an incoming attack to block it.

The Problem is, noone would play with it anymore then.

But I got a Solution for it.Make the Bucklers 0 slots!ANd do the thing you mentioned.Both will leave them viable.
