so are shielders the strongest class now or what?

[Ronin]

shielders  has always been the most versatile class,but it has its weaknesses as all other classes.I think no news

No shielders are OP. So as every class other than 2handers.

You see more shielders because of the frankly retarded amount of  ranged there has been on eu1 for the past few months . when you log in and see 30-50% of the enemy team is pew pewing well a shield makes sense. 2h still rape everything in sight if there are no ranged involved

Also when they holding a shield and like 5 players hitting on shield - they shod start receiving damage. OP backpedaling class with no penalties.

bi ba bullshit

...if more than 2-3 guys go at the same time for 1 shielder > evry shielder get into big trouble, as long these guys are not to dumb to kill him in the right way...
several guys attacking means also several hits and several hits means, that a the shield get broken quite fast
no evryone has 11 shieldskill like kinngrimm ;)

Shielders don't have any penalties. They moving fast arm with shield, like they wearing watch on they hand (and lots of shields weight is from 7 to 12,5 kg !!!). Rising and lowering shield to make a strike need to be much solver. Also when they holding a shield and like 5 players hitting on shield - they shod start receiving damage. OP backpedaling class with no penalties.

Yeah it's a nice damage buff, well deserved. 1h has always been a damn fine class but has suffered in damage output.  Might play on my 1h alt for the first time in months.

No worries, 2h still ez-mode.

That axe on your back, is designed to break shields if you don't know.

Shielders should be the strongest class,,, I mean, they got shields XD

Now seriously, Shielder should be, maybe not the strongest, but yes the most important class in a group fight.
Basic infantry prepared for defend a place. Take a psotition and defend it. Thats the basic of the basic. Everything else is strategy built around this concept

Dude, are you fucking retarded? Also, lol at the last part, aren't you like a 2h and stuff? I don't think you should be calling anyone else an OP backpedaling class.

1h cut versus any kind of STR build / can armor is beyond frustrating
