Shield Heirloom very gimp now

[Gnjus]

Gnjus can't play without his shield! Damn noob!

@topic Shields heirlooms are fine, in line with every other nerfed heirloom. They are all close to nothing.
This is just a shielder whine thread, mimimi buff my loom.

 

Krampino.

I like pole, ride it all the time. I gain nothing from a shield loom redist +1 to your cause brother man.

Who wastes heirloom on a shield?

Also someone said shield speed is useless. Not true. It matters when your ping is 50 higher. It determines if you block or if you are deaded. I never get a shield below 90 speed more or less as I live slightly "in the country" with a slightly higher ping.

Dev team please look at the shield problem.

Heirlooming a shield is very unrewarding now and was changed THE DAY AFTER THE HEIRLOOM RESET.

Please look at the current stats that are changed and find a way to make shield heirlooming a more viable and appealing option for players.

The weapon heirlooms didn't really change after the reset.

All shield stats drastically changed after the heirloom reset, not just a single point here or there.

Shields really need to be looked at again by the item team since I believe they were inadvertently nerfed instead of buffed as was intended.

The only really shitty thing with shield heirlooms was the fact that they were changed the day after the heirloom reset. If I remember correctly the same thing happened to horses. The shield heirlooms are fine in the sense that they were brought into line with other heirlooms. It did hurt shield diversity a bit as there is no reason to heirloom a low tier shield, but that's just how it goes.

If i gain 3 cut 2 pierce and 2 speed before change and only 3 cut 2 pierce and 1 speed after change the impact is as big as your shieldchange i guess.
About 15% worse then before.

I dont want to say that shield hasnt lost more but swords lost not only a little bit.
In addition all my clanmates wearing shield love their heirloomed shields so it cant be that bad.

[Vibe]

Shields are fine.

[Fasader]

Go away, thread necromancers!

[Jacko]

Shields are balanced!

Wha..?

[Konrax]

Armour got a boost, part of survivability for shielders is the shield.

Intentional nerf or indirect nerf?
