so are shielders the strongest class now or what?

[oprah_winfrey]

shield is easymode as fuck, way moreso than cav.

therefore i am going shield next gen

Coming from a courser gank cav that when dismounted uses a glaive and doesn't block at all. lol

well if he play that class, he must know OP when he sees it, now going shielder hmmm... i think he just proved the point of this topic.

[Torben]

the point of this topic.

was to point out that shielders are the strongest class atm.  not op.  y'all are dramaqueens -.-

True, so very true, we are dramaqueens and no its not really that strong. Just regular, acctual shielding(no putting shield in back and fighting only with 1h) is still rather complicated as far as im concerned. Lots of axeusers and cav these days and polearm and 2h users can run circles around you if you dont have enough ath and if you do that means your hits are weaksauce.

 Id say its precicely average class, its got almost equal ammount of pro's and con's as much as im concerned.  To me the strongest would still be 2h.

strongest, OP who cares as long as we can shittalk.

[Penitent]

A buff to shielders means more shielders which is actually an indirect nerf to archers.

STAHP NERFING ARCHERS ALREADY STAHP

[Ronin]

Punching too

[Tibe]

Aye, I remember I when I went from 2h to shielder/1h it was really tough. The ramboing I did with 2h was still fresh in my mind and tried same with shielder, it simply turned me into dogmeat quickly. Never did I really need to use teamwork when I was 2h.  Shielder is teamworkclass. Not that its shit or anything, its just that its true potential just lies in the middle of a messy fight.

[Shemaforash]

Bjord played 1h no shield, he didn't suck hard, he rather topped the scoreboards with it.

Once you reach a certain point in this game you'll top the scoreboards no matter class. (bagge, me , chase, bjord, intermezzo, teeth) are examples of these people.


You may downvote me if you want but that's the truth you worse players are afraid to accept

I dare some of the 2h/pole QQers here to go 1h/shield. You think it is so easy and OP, but I have seen a lot of 2h heroes (real good players too) try it, and get very mediocre scores compared to what they got before.

I think that has more to do with people not adjusting their play style to fit their class, then whether or not its easy/op.

You can not expect someone who have spent 2k hours as a 2her to perform equally good with new class.

I think it's downright silly that somebody would sink 2000 hours into a single melee class, while barely touching the other two. That's the sort of thing that leads to all the single-class lobbying we have.

But people do.

I think at this point i've played:
1h No Sheild
1h/xbow
1h/xbow(HX)
1h/pole(aka Hoplite)
1h/pole(Cav)
2h/pole
2h
2h (cav)
2h/xbow
2h/xbow(HX)
2h/archer
Pole
Pole(Cav)
Thrower/1h
Archer/2h

And of all of these classes, I like 2h the most. I just glance/wiff/take to long to kill shit as a 1h and it, in general, doesn't allow for error like 2h does.

Of course, I've played maybe 3 of 27 gens as "Pure Builds" with the rest as hybrids of some sort(or on alts)
